Place name Wasberry, Gloucestershire (General)

Hello, this is my first post on this forum so apologies if I get it wrong. Can anyone confirm if Wasberry was a local name for Westbury on Severn area in 1871?

I find it as the recorded place of birth at an 1871 Census for a Jane Hill (nee Smith) living at Bedwelty.

At 1861 she was in the Workhouse at Westbury on Severn aged 19, a single mother with two children, and recorded as being born in East Dean.

Any help much appreciated.
