I am slightly puzzled by the wording of the original posting - if the event, e.g. a baptism is recorded as having taken place in a particular church then that is where the baptism took place: the vicar/curate, etc. may have been the priest at another church (or covered several churches as is often the practice now).

"B. Thickins in Ruardean around 1813" B. Thickins was Rev. Bowen Thickins of Ross-on-Wye. His wife, Elizabeth, was buried there in 1799, and he in 1825 (see parish records on this site). An advertisement in the Hereford Journal of 4 September 1811 indicated that he also oversaw Hope Mansel (St. Michael) Church.
TO THE CLERGY
WANTED immediately, a resident CURATE
for the Parish of Hope Mansel, near Ross, Here-
fordshire --- For particulars apply (if by letter post
paid), to the Rev. Bowen Thickins, Ross.

"G. D. Fosbroke in Ruardean around 1830" Rev. Thomas Dudley Fosbroke was vicar of Walford (there are several newspaper references to this). He died in January 1842 and was buried in Walford churchyard (see parish records on this site). The burial record confirms that he was vicar of Walford, but he was also curate of Ruardean. Report in the Hereford Times 3 February 1844 -
On Thursday, the Reverend Henry Formby, M.A.,
was admitted to the Perpetual Curacy of Ruardean, in
the county of Gloucester, vacant by the
death of the Rev. T. D. Fosbroke. Patron, the Rev.
Thomas Huntingford, Precentor of Hereford Cathedral
