Sounds like it is Little Drybrook and not Drybrook (General)

My Dad who is now 85 was born in 1923 at Morse Lane, Drybrook and although his memory is not as good as what it once was, he certainly does not agree that the description is of Drybrook in 1931.

There are a number of points in the descption such as the distance from Coleford, it being in West Dean and also being a Hamlet and not a Village that indicate like Maurice mentions that the place would be Little Drybrook (which is close to Bream) and not Drybrook.
