And try gfhs.org.uk which is the Gloucestershire Family History Society. They might have something on Saunders of Lydney, and they have occasional meetings of their Forest of Dean branch so that they could probably put you in touch with somebody who might know something.

Also Kelly's Directory of Gloucestershire, 1861 (detailed in www.genuki.org.uk)gives two farmers named Sanders (at Nass and Blackrock) plus Thomas Saunders as a beer retailer and Williams Saunders as a butcher and beer retailer, both of Lydney. This in turn means if you search "Saunders" on gloucestershirepubs.co.uk you might find a link in the 21 pages that come up.
