The Gloucester Journal of Sat 23 April 1932 reports the wedding of William H. CLARK, son of the late Mr and Mrs W.E. CLARK, Tan House, Woolaston. (Incidentally, the organist was a Mrs Roy Workman, apparently a well-known music teacher in the area.)

Concentrating on William H. CLARK Glos BMD gives this,

CLARK Daisy Maria CLARK CLARK BOALCH 1891 Forest of Dean Chepstow, Lydney 21 347

General Register,

Ann BOALCH married William Edward CLARKE in 1882, Taunton District.

And then from GR 1911 Census, Tan House , Woolaston, Nr Lydney, 4 rooms.

Mary Caroline, Daughter, 18, Single, Help at Home, b. Woolaston
Percy John, Son, 16, Carpenter’s apprentice, b. Woolaston

So there was a Thomas Edward in the family but he seems to have been born outside the Forest.
