My name is Michael Meik, and I am looking for any information relating to my Grandfather Lorenzo Arnold Meik born on Jun 10, 1896 in Calcutta India.
He disappeared for several years & died mysteriously in Sukkur India (now in Pakistan) on Sep 22, 1946. The priest there buried him in the Church cemetery.The family did not come to know until some time later. I know he travelled to England, studied to be a chartered accountant, returned to India, got a top position as a CA for the Burma Oil Company in the Baj Baj oil fields in Calcutta. He was a professional pianist as well, which is how he met my Grandmother Eunice Maud Marshall at Government House in Calcutta where she sang opera, they married on Sep 5, 1918. He was extremely well off, but when he disappeared, they lost everything. My grandmother took my dad who was quite young at the time, to Karachi to live with her mother. I am trying to find any details or photographs during those last missing years of his life. He must have been somewhere all those years.

janilye on 2017-05-06 22:13:15Well Vivian Bernard Meik was an author. Yes he died in California in the late 1950's. His father was Lorenzo but died in 1918.
janilye on 2017-05-06 22:17:39Here's a biography of Vivian Meik you might be able to sort something out through this.The most difficult part will be sorting out the fact from the fiction.
janilye on 2017-05-06 22:56:07book review of Zambesi Interlude and Central African Experiences Vivian had a very vivid imagination perhaps it ran in the family.
Here's some additional information on the Author
janilye on 2017-05-08 01:58:12The children of Lorenzo Alexander MEIK 1846-1918 and Alice Gertrude, nee THOMAS 1860-1918, were:
Alexander Cyril 1884-1885; Marie Alice 1890-1891; Vivian Bernard 1894-1955; Lorenzo Arnold 1896-1946; Esme 1898-1898; and Harold Arthur Percival Meik
I suppose I was suggesting Lorenzo Arnold 1896-1946 may have gone globe trotting with one of his brothers'
