Hi Brian

I have Elizabeth as born 11 Sep 1796, baptised 2 Oct 1796 Hartbury. Her son with John Meredith - Thomas baptised 23 Jan 1820 Little Dean.

There has been controversy in the past as to the parentage of Thomas Meredith's wife Elizabeth Trigg 1819, there being 2 Benjamin Trigg's to choose from. Both are in my Family Tree as the "other" Benjamin Trigg 1791 married Elizabeth Roberts 1795, my 3rd cousin four times removed, they had a daughter Elizabeth 1822. I have a copy of the will of Elizabeth Trigg 1819's Grandfather John Marfell 1769 which satisfies me.
