Messent Family of Wethersfield c1788-1818

[RedLadybug]

Hi,
I'm trying to find the baptism of Samuel Messent born circa 1788 in Weathersfield, Essex, according to the 1861 Census. His middle name may be Romsey/Rumsey. His first-born son was named Samuel Romsey Messent.

I have also found in the 1861 Census a Daniel Messent, bc1795 Wethersfield, and a William Messent, bc1783 Wethersfield, both residing in Dunmow, Stebbing.

I have also found an Edward Rumsey Messent in the FreeBDM index who died in 1890, aged 72, in Lambeth but I can find no other record of him in any censuses.

I'm wondering if they are all related?

Any help in solving this would be great.
Thanks,
Redladybug
