To add further to this confusion,there are 2 Lea Baileys.Lea Bailey 1 which as stated was near Hope Mansel and Lea Bailey 2 which was a part of what is now Cinderford,it had a series of names over the years,sometimes being known as Woodside or Littledean Woodside.This caused me great confusion when I first started researching my family tree because originally my Teague family were from the Ruardean/Hope Mansel area and later on the Lea Bailey 2 area which was in the part of Cinderford now known as Littledean Hill Rd and Causeway Rd.This features in the 1851/1881 censuses and is sometimes referred to as 'Lea Hamlet'.
