Can you amplify. How do you know Susannah was born in Soudley? Then, the Forest in general was extra-Parochial, ie not included in the CofE parochial system. It was, as the Russian's say, an inhabited area, not populated densely enough for parishes . For some time into the future, Forest folks had to use St Peter's, Newnham, Westbury on Severn or All Saints, Newland. Only the last recorded particular secondaries such as Newland Bream or Newland Redbrook etc.
