Location of Coleford Meend Park End Walk 1841 (General)

Some of my coalmining ancestors were living at the time of the 1841 census at Coleford Meend Parkend Walk. Up to 1838 their address had always been Lane End Coleford. I assume they must have moved to Parkend after 1838 but have not been able to find a Coleford Meend on any of the modern maps of Parkend. I know there was a lot of coal mining at Parkend so the move to Parkend seems quite logical but where was Coleford Meend. The name Coleford suggests it would be at Coleford not Parkend. I think there must be a simple explanation but can someone with local knowledge please sort me out. Thanks.
