Thanks Slowhands :-)
May I ask why you particularly "plumped" for this 1809 Thomas baptism given the apparent choice available ?. Presumably it's given the Coalway locality and the possible mining/quarrying background ?. Or perhaps more likely, is it because you've worked back from the 1841 Census's which perhaps only show this particular Thomas in Coalway Lane End area rather than the other baptisms in the more general area ?, I'd very much appreciate your thinking please. [I did thoroiughly search my 1851 Glos Census cd without finding anyone, and on repeat without finding your Thomas Roba, will try again but ! ].
Finally, is there any evidence/intuition to support my suggestion Thomas b1809 did get married at Littledean, maybe the Coopers appear in the Census's as neighbours to the Ellwood Rossers ?

I do hope you can continue to enlighten me.

Finally please note I've just deleted my suggestion the Thomas Rosser in the Directory being "a son" of our man, as soon as I switched off the pc this mornig I realised this major chronological error.

Thanks again, Jeff.

PS Update, sorry, on opening your post I hadnt seen you've attached it to a prior thread which presumably answers the question ?. I did search for related prior threads without any obvious success, but admittedly not over thoroughly and certainly only searching "Coalway Rosser" instead of the key search word "Newland".
