Hi Kathryn, welcome to the forum !

First, please edit your post as it's not a good idea to include your full email address, unfortunately this may attract unwanted spam emails etc. See
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=9711
If other posters wish to contact you off the forum they can send you secure emails by clicking your "envelope" icon. At the least swop the @ for "at" or similar, I'm told this fools the automated systems that sweep the net for email addresses but I must say I'm not convinced this still works ?

Moving on, have you searched this site's Parish Record database for Charles & ELizabeth, I'm afraid I'm not sure from your post whether your given "b" dates are derived from the later Censuses(you don't mention them), or are they from PRs you've already found ?. This database does include Llandogo PRs, but not Trellech.
I have searched this forum for prior posts but cannot find any that are obviously related, although hopefully I'm wrong (again) in this respect and they are here....

From this site's LLandogo PRs there are several Williams, unsurprisingly, including the following which I suspect you've seen. However if I were able to search Trellech PRs I suspect they'd also include these fairly common names, so not sure how conclusive this is ??

However note there are other Elizabeths baptised at Llandogo within a few years of your suspected date, so ?. The Llandogo PRs don't include any likely Marriage between them.

Please confirm if these PRs are what you've already found, thanks.

I can only search Censuses using the LDS site which gives individuals not households. Is this your Charles do you know, this one is born 1786/7 ?

As expected the excellent Genuki site yields some interesting background and history for the very old Parishes of Trellech and nearby Llandogo which I knew very little about until today, thanks for helping enlighten me Kathryn.
