Thanks Graham.

Unless I hear to the contrary, I think I agree that the minister got them transposed.

Thanks too M P Griffiths

As you can imagine, I already have all the Census data and you are right Moses Meek is the son of Beriah Meek who was in turn the son of Moses Meek 1779 and Anne Brain 1781. I am related to both Moses and Anne, and to add to those relationships, it was a first marriage for Anne Brain, her second when Moses died in 1827 was to a second cousin Henry Roberts 1777.

Thanks also to Colin Fenton
As you know it was quite common for two or more children to be baptised on the same day, indeed her siblings Jane (who married Alfred Meek's brother John **), Tryphena, Moses, Rhoda & Bessie were all baptised on 16 Jan 1870.

** When Jane Meek married John Meek, the minister managed to get their parents Richard Meek & Moses Meek the right way around !! Perhaps it was easier because Richard was dead by then.
