Thank you for the information from the Gloucestershire records - I don't have access to them.

It is an interesting possibility to look at whether Israel Constant could be involved in some way. There is a baptism record for him in Newland in 1793 (Record_ID: 263871), parents John and Mary from Clearwell, as well as a baptism record for a Sarah Constant in Newland (Record_ID: 264410), parents Joseph and Sarah from Ellwood.

It is highly likely that Israel and this Sarah are related in some way, but then there is also a marriage record for a Sarah Constant and John Mathews, Newland 1813 (Record_ID: 35637), so it does question whether there can be any link with the marriage you found in Hempstead.

However, in both the 1851 and 1861 census Sarah Carlisle, as she was then (grandmother of Tom) declared she was born in Newland, which is why I had been looking at FoD records.
