Yes, it looks as though you could be right! So, by 1841, William is married again, to Ann, & already postmaster at Coleford. But children from first marriage to Martha, (Eliza & William), are not shown there. Sarah (sister of William the postmaster) later moves to Coleford & the children are back with their father again in 1851. In 1861 Eliza is married. Sarah stays with William & Ann (then Mary, his 3rd wife) until 1881 census.

I had the deaths of the 2 Marthas, was thinking that they may be related to childbirth. The frustrating thing was not to be able to get ages or find burial records. At that time William & his family seemed to be very active in establishing the Baptist Church in Lydney etc. And still can't find death/burial record for Ann.

Now that it seems to be adding up, will put ordering death certs for the Marthas on my list.

Many thanks for putting the pieces together
