Going back to your previous posting Joseph Meek father of Ann Meek who married James Welsh, was in fact married to Hannah Baldwin 1779, they married Newland 8 June 1801. The fact of two Joseph Meek's marrying Hannah fairly close together causes a lot of confusion.

Moving on; Joseph Meek & Hannah Baldwin had 10 children, including Anne who married James Welsh (which I have only picked up thanks to your posting) - Lydia 1816 who married Thomas Yemm 1811 at Flaxley 12 Nov 1845 - it is she who is looking after her Welsh family nephew & niece on the census, also Richard Meek 1807 who married Jane Simmonds 1812 at Abenhall 24 Dec 1838. They had a daughter Emma Meek 1846 who married Thomas Haddock 1845 - son of Rawlings Haddock. Thomas Haddock & Emma Meek had a daughter Emma Elizabeth Haddock which leads me to my connection here as she married a relative of mine Allen Trigg 1874 at Drybrook 21 Jul 1897. Bearing in mind I am not related to Thomas Haddock, I usually paste interesting information picked up relating to "connected" people in case it later proves useful, in this instance a question I would guess was posted on this web site - in italics :

I am researching my husband's HADDOCK family history. He is a ggggrandson of Rawlings HADDOCK 1801-1871, Forest of Dean. Rawlings' son George married Elizabeth HADDOCK in 1869 at Wolverhampton. Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph and Harriet HADDOCK of Kidderminster and the sister of Thomas HADDOCK b1845 mentioned here recently. Elizabeth was widowed and I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to her. On the 1881 England Census she appears to be a nurse at Hampton Court Palace.

The census data you have posted for William Haddock, father of Mary Haddock who married William Welsh was born about 1803. See baptism below back to Rawlings again, so below that marriage for Rawlings/Rollings Haddock :
