I am trying to determine which, if either, of these Margaret ROBERTS is this one:

This is "my" Margaret:

Parish Chapel Awre

I have a marriage betwee John Roberts and Anne Moiles in Awre; Ann is the daughter of William Moiles (MOYLE) and Lucey. There is a marriage is 1730 between Willliam MOYLE and Lewis (sic) WALLARD. Wallard is an unusual name for any of the registers, so I am not sure the minister recorded it accurately -- especially since "Lucey" was recorded as "Lewis". (Not that Lewis is not a wonderful name . . .)

This is in the wrong parish, but the year is closest to the age of the Margaret whose burial is listed above. It is also a red herring; I just found this Margaret's death record -- she died as an infant.

This leaves this as the most likely parents:Second possibility:

Parish Chapel Mitcheldean

This is the correct parish (Newland, not Mitcheldean), but the date is further out than I would have otherwise expected. Is the minister's name significant as to why this child was baptised in Mitcheldean?
