This is part of the problem Brian, there seem to be two or more people born around the same time with the same name. My Isaac baptised Dixton 1827 is the son of Benjamin Beach and Ann Parry who married in Llangarren. Ben had a cousin Ben the same age who lived half a mile away. You only have to walk across a few fields from Whitchurch to Llangarren, or up the hill to Welsh Newton where several of my family are recorded, and from there it's not far again down to Dixton or over to Garway where most lived. I thought the Ben marrying Ann Morris was mine but it was too early. There's an Isaac Beach who appears in a census out at Weston under Penyard, I wondered who he belonged too. I followed the Whitchurch Beach families but found no direct link, and there was a Beach Jarrett marriage that ended up with the children living with their grandmother Susan Beach in Monmouth. I think I might have found a link to the Newland Beach family, William Beach who married Ann Benfield in Monmouth 1766, but I seem to remember somebody shooting me down a few years ago over that marriage, so I better check it out again.
