I am looking for the baptism record for Jane Meek born c1685 ruardean. There seems to be two possible options on the parish records - Jane Meek 1684 ruardean, and Jane Meeke 1687 ruardean.
My Jane married John Edy in 1709 Walford. Can anyone help?

Hi Stephen,
Not sure if it helps, but the IGI for the marriage states her birth as " about 1688" which would point to the second of your options......

Info I have from Jim Ashton is that Jane Meeke (1687) daughter of John and Elinor also died in 1687. Perhaps he can elaborate on that a bit.

Hi Stephen and others.
I have emailed the actual BT page for 1687 Ruardean to Stephen. Having had a closer inspection, I now see her baptism was 10th July 1687, not 20 July as I might have said to CM Fenton, it is quite clear however that she is the daughter of John Meek & Elinor.
The Burial was "a" Jane Meeke 4th December 1688. Not of course necessarily the same Jane Meek as other Jane Meek's were born in the same time frame; one was born to Thomas Meek & Sarah and one to Thomas Meek & Jane and it would appear that the latter wife Jane died in 1684, probably in child birth.

Thanks again Jim, I have found out that it was Jane Meek 1684 ruardean who married John Edy. Her parents were Thomas Meek and jane Jordan (married in 1682) and that Jane did die in childbirth.
