No problem Don, that's what we're here for.

Please be advised I've just edited my first post of yesterday, adding a link to the 1883 Ordnance Survey map of Cinderford. It didn't "click" in my sometimes-dim head until today how most of the town's population around that time was still condensed into the triangle of Victorian terraced streets south of the modern town centre, such as Woodside & Pembroke, and Flaxley Street to their south; I suspect the families I listed from the 1871 Census lived in these streets.

Modern maps show how much later housing eg Woodside Avenue c1950 has now infilled south of Flaxley to meet Stockwell Green and Cinderford Bridge near St Johns church, the original "centre" of the town.
The 1883 map was accessed from this great website, to view later maps click on the Right Hand side images.
