It's just a possibility that they are related, possibly even Rebecca's parents. Assuming William and Jane in Steeple B are the same couple who turn up in Ashdon, the timeline would be:
William Fitch and Jane Wall married in Steeple Bumpstead in 1786
Samuel bapt S B 1791
William bapt Ashdon in 1797
Samuel bapt Ashdon in 1802
William snr buried Ashdon in 1803 age 55 (born abt 1748)
Rebecca married John Thake in Ashdon in 1812. Witnesses Jeremiah Howes and Simon Richardson
William jnr married Susannah Barker (of Saffron Walden) in Ashdon in 1817. Wit  Ann and Samuel Jackson and Jeremiah Howes (JH has very shaky signature but looks like same as above)
Samuel married Amy Richardson in Ashdon in 1824. Wit Richard Ruse, Mary Greygoose.
Jane Fitch buried in Ashdon in 1834 age 80 (born abt 1854)

W  and J seem a little older than expected but last baby at 48 after 5 year gap is possible. And there is a gap for Rebecca's birth about 1789. So we need to find where they were before they came to Ashdon and where was Samuel 1 buried.

(Later realised that the Samuel buried in Ashdon was earlier in 1791 so cannot be their son, more likely the Samuel who married Sarah Woodhall or their son Samuel.)

Note on Jeremiah Howes (parish clerk)
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/5817e417e93790ec75848b14?search_id=5ae1889533045b0ba174f2dd&ucf=false

So not particularly significant he was witness on both William's and Rebecca's marriages.

that was from freereg. I'll look at actual burial record later, but got to go for eye test now!

Yes, that's my four times great-grandfather. Married Jane Baynes in Radwinter in 1835.

And ah, thanks for that. That's an interesting piece of information.
