There must be two Susannah's. The daughter of Cornelius Meek 1766/1827 & Elizabeth Taylor 1767 was baptised in 1790 :

Although it is not uncommon for births of children to be around the date of a childs birth, Cornelius Meek & Elizabeth Taylor were married 19 Apr 1790. This Cornelius Meek was the son of James Meek 1729 & Susannah Tollisby, James being the son of Basil Meek 1694 & Susannah Watkins. So you see the name Susannah runs in the family.

Berkeley is 40 miles from Ruardean.
