I think I'm on safe ground to say that Gloucestershire did not extend down to include Priston - it came pretty close to Bath but not on the south side !

Priston is on the North Somerset coal field /deposits so there could easily be links to FoD Vaughans/Watkins etc.

Priston was around in Saxon time and has a mention in the Doomseday Book.
http://www.priston.org.uk/index.htm has a timeline of Priston's history.
The Romans ventured from Bath out to Priston probably founding a farmstead (villa ?)! http://www.priston.org.uk/roman%20coffin.htm
