Hello everyone,

I am still trying to find verification of the baptism/birth of Barzillai Meek. The only thing I can find for Barzillai's birth is a member submission on the IGI which shows him born 1793, Mitcheldean with parents Cornelius Meek and Elizabeth Taylor. So far in the Mitcheldean parish or any other parish records transcribed on this site there is no mention of Barzillai's baptism. I search every time there are new records transcribed(for which I am very grateful. I have found details of other children born to this couple in the Mitcheldean records but not Barzillai.

I know a lot about Barzillai, his two wives, his children, when he died etc,he died age 71 in 1863 which confirms his birth year as 1792/93. Is it likely that he was the son of Cornelius and Elizabeth and for some reason he wasn't baptised like the other children, has anyone else had this happen in their family history.
