Hi JK & Dawn,
please note that all the above areas are well outside the Forest of Dean so beyond the scope of this website.
The nearest, Stroud, is t'other side of the County from us, very "foreign" indeed. I presume the aforementioned Broadwell is the one near Stow in the Cotswolds and not the Dean one.

That said, trying to clarify dates a little, according to FreeBMD:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1840 (>99%)KEEN Richard Shipston on Stour 11 549
Lane Charlotte Shipston on S. 11 549

ie Marriage registered at Shipston on Stour in Qtr upto December 1840.
Shipston included Blockley which was transferred from Worcs to Glos in 1931.

(NB: there are four marriages registered at Shipston for Richard Lane(s) between Dec 1838 and Dec 1842)
