Hi, welcome to the forum and website.
Re your post, hopefully you and your computer have managed to find out some of your family history from this site, if not please ask and we'll try to help.

I guess you've seen the mention of Amelia Freeman in the third post in this thread (the post entitled William Henry Freeman) ie

1881 White Cross, Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England

Henry Freeman abt 1835 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Head
Martha Freeman abt 1835 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Wife
Amelia Freeman abt 1873 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Daughter
Clara Freeman abt 1876 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Daughter
Isaac Freeman abt 1864 Leckhampton, Gloucestershire, England Son
John Freeman abt 1871 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Son
Louisa Freeman abt 1868 Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, England Daughter

She was born a little outside the area covered by this site's Parish Records, but from the very usefull GlosBMD site I think this may be her Birth ?

Charlton Kings is only four mile from Badgeworth, http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Badgeworth/Gaz1868.html

Also from GlosBMD site I can find this marriage which appears to fit her parent's names wrt the 1881 Census;

Marriage Details
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
FREEMAN Henry SPARROW Martha Gloucester Northgate St John the Baptist 1858 55 No 2 381

This Marriage was registered within the last Oct/Nov/Dec Quarter of 1858, as shown by FreeBMD;

Marriages Dec 1858 (>99%)

Sparrow Martha Gloucester 6a 475

The GlosBMD site confirms a total of ten births registered under this surname combination, most appear to fit the Census records in the earlier post, so I suspect they were all born to the same parents ?

FREEMAN Amelia FREEMAN FREEMAN SPARROW 1872 Cheltenham Cheltenham, Charlton Kings 20 394
FREEMAN Eliza M FREEMAN FREEMAN SPARROW 1876 Cheltenham Cheltenham, Charlton Kings 22 398

Again the date of these births may be tied-down a little more closely using FreeBMD. Additionally it's possible the free LDS aka FamilySearch website may have more detailed Baptism Records etc. https://familysearch.org/
They are not within this FoD site's PRs.

Searching for Henry and Martha Birth Records on GlosBMD is difficult for Henry, a few possibles, but there's only one entry on that site for Martha;

Child Surname Child Forename Father Surname Mother Surname Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry
SPARROW Martha SPARROW SPARROW READ 1839 Gloucester Gloucester, St John the Baptist 1 475

BUT is this her ?. The Census's suggest she(and Henry) were born abt 1835, so just before the start of Civil Registration Records in 1837 !
Really need the 1841 Census Records as a help.....

???

I realise you may already have known these Records, but if not it's a start.
Hoping this helps you, if only a little,
Happy hunting !
