I cannot agree to the suggestion that the place of birth is Willington. There is not a dot above the first vowel and when comparing it with the first vowel in Newent it looks much the same. The enumerator also appears to have taken great care to dot the "i's"
I am not aware of a Wellington in Gloucestershire but apart from Somerset there is one in Shropshire and a Wellington Heath near Ledbury which is just 7 miles from Dymock.
I support the request for details of siblings etc as this may well help in locating Edwin Silas's birth.
