Hi Sarah,
welcome to this great website & forum, its a wonderfull resource which we're so fortunate to have access to !.
First, as a starter I suggest you read this post, it will help you.
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=9711

Secondly, a good idea is to read replies to your earlier threads, you don't seem to have done so thusfar.

Thirdly, for anyone to be able to help you please help us, speaking for myself I'm just an enthusiastic amateur who's learnt a lot by trial and error, plus the help & guidance of other forum members. (I'm supposed to be off to the supermarket as we speak, but despite my wife's moans abt the other jobs, I'd rather be hear helping you !)
As per the post above, please give us as much information as you can to help us help you. Eg whereabouts and whenabouts were the Dixons living ?.

If you havn't yet done so, I strongly urge you to thoroughly search around this site yourself. Search the forum, you will quite possibly find prior threads relating to your family. Using the blue menu bar at top of the page, search thro the Parish Records (ie church records of births, marriages & deaths), or thro the huge collection of Old Photos, Old Documents, Wills, Inquests etc etc; there really is a wealth of information there.

Re the Parish Records, as you may have discovered (your post didnt say ??)), I cannot readily see a Marriage to link William & Louisa. I've also tried looking for variations of spelling eg Dickson, but so far no luck. I've searched the free GlosBMD site which has additional Marriages as it included Registry Office marriages to which arent in the PRs, again no luck yet. Hence more info on their background will help enormously, please. Don't forget names such as William were and still are enormously popular hence very common, often a family line might have several generations of the same name, so we really do nedd all the extra background information you can provide, please.

Hope this helps, look forward to your reply and we'll work from there.
Jeff
