Hi MPG,
definitely not a golfing day here, hope your weather is better !.

Re Sarah Russell's birth, GlosBMD has:

Child Surname Child Forename Father Surname Mother Surname Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry
RUSSELL Sarah RUSSELL RUSSELL BAILEY 1853 Forest of Dean Monmouth, Coleford 10 11

I strongly suspect the Census p.o.b should read Cannop, not your Cannock suggestion. This is situated on the same B4234 road which connects the old industrial centres of Parkend and Lydbrook.

Given her father's chemical manufacturing background, this fits in nicely with the Chemical works at Lydbrook and later at Cannop itself. The history of these sites is detailed in this prior thread
