Newland records (General)

Thanks for steer.

Reading Grahams note answers some of the problems I have with the pre 1800 records.

The period I am particularly interested in covers the period between 1809 and 1825 when I believe believe we used copies of missing registers to transcribe to our records.

We have a number of BMDs for Newland including the the period 1809 to 1825. I remain surprised that any potential children of Peter and Esther do not appear in these transcripts.

Between 1850 and 1900 the family became Non Conformists. Checking Gloucester Archieves I note some Non Conformists are active between 1800 and 1825. Although Peter and Esther are not named as Non Conformists in the Gloucester Archieves catalogue, would it be worth while investigating this avenue?

Other issues which need ruling out are Prison and army (Napoleonic wars?)

I intend to visit Gloucester Archieves within the next two weeks and would appreciate your thoughts on further research areas.
