I am confused - Are there too many Matilda's spoiling the pie ?

As at the beginning of this thread, the Matilda that Emanuel Meek married in Ross District Jun qtr 1845 was Matilda Gough. Daughter of William Gough & Esther:

I had Emanuel Meek's widow as marrying John Bright in 1884, but this is evidently wrong.

In order to sort my Family Tree out, can anyone through any light on the Elijah Meek who as shown on the parish record was the father of the Matilda who married John Bright.
