Thanks. It sounds as though we are looking at the same family, then. These are the baptisms from Lancs OPC, though there seem to be a couple missing:
13 Oct 1793 Peggy - first daur (born 21 Sep)
9 Nov 1794 Betty - second daur (born 20 Oct)
1 May 1796 Thomas - first son (Ranson on Lancs OPC) (born 19 Apr)
30 Jan 1799 William - second son (born 27 Dec)
6 Aug 1801 Matthew - third son (born 7 Jul)
3 Apr 1803 William - fifth son (born 21 Mar)
5 May 1805 Nelly - third daur (Dunson on Lancs OPC) (born 16 Apr)
29 Mar 1807 Sally - fourth daur (born 17 Mar)
2 Oct 1808 Mary - fifth daur (born 26 Sep)
12 Apr 1812 Ann - seventh daur (born 2 Apr)
There is also a burial for William 1 Feb 1798 age 2 weeks, and Mary 14 Aug 1809 age 10 months. So it looks as though the number is wrong for second and third son in the baptisms - they should have been third and fourth. Maybe they didn't have time to get the first William baptised before he died.
Matthew's occupation changes from weaver to dyer in 1809.
