Hi again Lynne,
glad to hear you're making good progress, well done !. I love a challenge particularly from someone so polite !
I've searched hi & lo thro the Baptisms database for all areas between 1836 & 1840, entering just "El" for first name & "S%" for surname, (yes you can input abbreviated names, but use % as wildcard in surnames), but sadly no luck.
Tried other sites too, still nowt.
Thinking laterally, looked up William, guess this is him ?:

Penny drops in my dim head!
Search again for Helen...

Have thoroughly (I think..) searched this site plus GlosBMD and FreeBMD, trying all spelling variations of Symonds and Helen/Ellen I can think of, but unable to find either Baptism or Burial Records in any North Forest location at all...?

Please can you check and advise your thinking for the dates and places you've quoted, somethings not adding up here (probably me but..).
Thanks Lynne, sorry not much help, but we'll get there !
