GR gives at least five hits for people born in Kempla. Oddly enough these are all in 1851! One of them is,

1851 Weston under Penyard
Thomas PHILLIPS, Head, 45, Ag Lab, b. Heref. Kempla
Ann, Wife, 41, b. Heref. Upton
Winifred, Dau, 9, b. Heref. Weston
William, Son, 6, B. Heref. Weston

And then,

1861 Weston under Penyard
Thomas PHILLIPS, Head, 56, Ag Lab, b. Kempley, Glos
Ann, Wife, 51, b. Heref. Upton Bishop
William, Son, 16, b. Heref. Weston

I guess Kempley is the place meant. I’m not aware of the borders fluctuating in that area.
