Hi Dave,
purely on the info in this thread (I don't have full census acess etc) I presume William & Elizabeth married sometime between 1810 (earliest based on Eliza's birthdate) and 1822(birth of first child), and in the Newent area if this is Elizabeth's home. I think our William was in Taynton parish (includes Glasshouse) in 1841 Census but am NOT certain, I don't have full census access and it's a common name. Am I correct, please ?.

Anyhow, using the excellent "advanced search" to search this site's Marriage Records more specifically gives this Marriage which seems the best fit by far to me;

Further evidence to back this up (or not!) might be obtained if the witnesses can be researched and perhaps placed in William & Elizabeth's lives.

Linton is less than 5 miles from Newent and just nearer to Glasshouse Hill;

Given the lack of family witnesses, plus marrying at a chapel just across the county border, does this suggest they were marrying in secret ??.

Then again, I see this Baptism which fits Elizabeth nicely, thankfully Frowen is a far less common name:

Record_ID: 237369
Entry_Number:
Year: 1797
Month: Aug
Day: 27
Parents_Surname: FROWEN
Child_Forenames: Elizabeth
Fathers_Forenames: James

So it seems her home parish was Linton rather than Newent. Would I be correct in thinking you thought Newent as this was given by the later Census' ?. This makes sense, as Newent is the main Glostershire town in the area so appropriate for Census purposes.

How does this seem to you ?.
