I should firstly stress that the information below are the facts as I see it. I could be wrong and with similary named parents it is open to speculation.

You have some of the baptism's correct, Thomas & Lydia are 2 of the 10 children for Joseph Meek 1771 & Hannah Baldwin. George 1823 is one of the 13 children for Joseph Meek 1782 & Hannah Cooke.

John 1826 is the son of Joseph Meek 1805 & Harriett Edwards 1808/1828, Joseph 1805 being the son of Joseph Meek 1771 & Hannah Baldwin. After the death of Harriett Edwards Joseph Meek 1805 remarried to Sarah Wall 27 Dec 1840. They had 5 children and their great grandson Robert George Meek 5 Apr 1929/3 Feb 1967 was famous for writing Telstar - A blue plaque at 1 Market Square Newent commemorates his birthplace.

Not surprisingly I had noted the two baptism's for Joseph Meek, but cannot say which - if either is correct.
