These are my conclusions about Aaron HALE and Elizabeth EVANS and their children:

Aaron HALE was christened on 22 Dec 1765 in Little Dean, the son of Aron and Ann HALE.
[Sources] i. IGI and FOD transcript entry 166091 although the transcription records the child's name as ANN but a transcriber's note states that the name was unclear and that ANN is a best guess -the date recorded is 22 Dec 1766. I submitted a transcription check/correction and it is definitely AARON, 22 Dec 1765.
ii. Correspondence with another researcher Reginald DAY said that his birth date is given on his death certificate and is the same date as his baptism.

Aaron appeared in the census in 1841 in Lane End, Extra Parochial parish of Worcester Walk Dean, Registration District of Coleford. Aaron was living next door to his son Thomas and his wife Ann. His wife Elizabeth was not in the house - having died earlier. He died, according to the burial register, age 86 in Feb 1850 in Littledean Lane End. He was buried on 5 Feb 1850 in Newland Parish.

Aaron HALE and Elizabeth EVANS were married on 25 May 1786 in Newland Parish, Gloucestershire by Banns. The marriage was witnessed by in Thomas BOND and Hester STEPHENS. [Parish Register]

Elizabeth EVANS was born c1768 in Gloucestershire [burial]. She died at the age of 50 in Forest of Dean, and was buried on 17 Jul 1818 in Newland Parish.

Aaron HALE and Elizabeth EVANS had the following children:

Susan HALE, born c1786 in Coleford, bapt 3 Dec 1786 in Newland [FOD transcript]

Henry HALE, born c1789, Coleford, bapt 31 May 1789; married Ann HAWKINS, 4 Feb 1815, Newland Parish.

Jane HALE, born c1792 in Berry Hill, West Dean, bapt 4 Nov 1792 in Newland Parish. [FOD transcript]

Thomas HALE, born c1794 in Berry Hill, West Dean, bapt 29 Jun 1794 Newland Parish [Bapt Register/FOD transcript]; married Ann BROWN, 5 Jun 1824, Newland Parish [FOD] he was a widower of St Briavels; died 10 Jan 1863, Lane End, Coleford; bur 13 Jan, Coleford Baptist. [FOD] This is my line.

Molly HALE born c1796 in Berry Hill, West Dean, bapt 14 Aug 1796 in Newland Parish [FOD].

William HALE, bapt 19 May 1799 Coleford [IGI]; married ?Hanna NEWLAND, 1829.

Hannah HALE, born c1801 in Coleford, bapt 7 Dec 1801 in Newland Parish.[FOD]

Nancy HALE, born c1803 in Coleford, bapt 26 Jun 1803 in Newland Parish.[FOD]

Aaron HALE, born c1805, Lane End, bapt 20 Oct 1805, Coleford Chapel[Bapt. Register/FOD]; married Elizabeth MORGAN, 24 Dec 1825, St. Briavels [FOD]; married Rachel VANT, abt 1854; died 13 Jun 1884, Palantine, Cook Co., IL at home[Reg DAY].

I believe that Aron HALE father to Aaron c1765 possibly married Ann TRIGGE, 14 May 1762 in Littledean. This seems to be the only likely possibility, at present, from the transcripts. The transcripts also identify the following possible issue of Aron and Ann HALE:
Edward, bapt 26 June 1763, Littledean
Sarah & Noah both bapt 12 Feb 1769, Littledean
and possibly Ann 2 Aug 1778, Littledean.

There are definitely 2 Aaron HALEs born c1765 - the other bapt 10 Feb 1765 is the son of Aaron and Susan/Susannah HALE who appear to be from Welsh Bicknor/Ruardean area. Whereas, Aaron son of Aron and Ann and all their children are from the Littledean area.

It is then possible that Aron was the son of Edward and Hannah HALE born c1741, bapt 13 Oct 1741, Littledean [FOD] and I know that this thread has been mentioned on the forum before.
