I am researching my Blunt family from Hewelfield, Lydney and Alvington. Edward Blunt was baptised 1794 at Lydney father Thomas mother Susanna. I am not sure on Thomas's baptism. I do have a Elizabeth, who baptised a Thomas in 1752. Now the thing is that the Christopher you have, he and his wife Ann had a Christopher 1749 and Ann 1745, so did my Thomas and Edward's brother George 1802. The Christopher 1749 was baptised at Alvington and my Thomas's children were baptise at Lydney then Alvington and George the last was baptised at Hewlfield.If Thomas was Elizabeth son I feel he was put with Christoper and Ann's family or were very close to them to have named two of his children after them. My Edward married Elizabeth Phillips 1814 at Hewelfield, had two children Eliza 1815 and Alexander 1821, my Gt Grandfather who moved to Monmouth and married Eliza Meredith and had my Grandfather William 1862 who came to Australia in 1883. With your Phillip Blunt I saw in the 1841 census he was a lodger Chepsow born 1821 age 20. There was a James Partchard age 50 in the house with others so it could have been a half way house. Phillip stated he was born at Hewelsfield.With no true baptism for your Phillip and my Thomas it seems we are stuck. Only time will tell and more research. Best of luck and hope I have Helped. Donald
