Hello Glen,

I don't know where you are situated, but you need to go to Gloucestershire County Records at Gloucester. It's all there.

Redbrook, like Coleford, Clearwell and Bream were originally Chapels of Ease for All Saints Newland. I finished with my researches a long time ago, so my memory is a bit hazy. Newland Parish records will be on fiche and include the Chapels of Ease. In addition, the incumbent in the early 1800's compiled an index. That is pure gold as you can pick up other members with your family name. Latter best asked for from the staff there.

Best to ring ahead and mention both the fiches and index for Newland. I think the phone number is 01452-425295. Also for the opening times.

Roger
