Images (of variable quality) of the parish register are on FamilySearch.
The 16 May 1796 birth dates seem to be an invention of FreeReg. None are given in the actual parish register. Looking at some other Mountfield baptisms from around the same time, Free Reg appear to have given them all the 16 May 1796 birth date
Something must have gone very wrong!

Thank you both for ongoing interest in this family.   What does Battle Union mean?  Would William have been in a workhouse when he died?   The entry next to his burial says Parish of Mountfield, so does that mean that Parish paid for his burial?  Some others on the page say Battle Union.   Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Hi
Yes, William died in the workhouse. But he was ill.
Battle Union = the poor law union, which included Mountfield. It seems that the Battle Guardians did not arrange his burial.

Stange that we haven't found a baptism for Jesse.

Thank you jonw65.  I thought workhouse would be his lot.  Probably William, at 79, "worked out".   May be Jessie had another christian name, or the spelling was a bit different.  He couldn't sign his name when he married, so perhaps the parents not very well educated either.  Somewhere I saw "John Jessie" online but cant find that reference anymore.   Not to worry, I greatly appreciate the help I have had.
