For completeness, while Familysearch is so co-operative;

Marriage Record;
Name John Woodward
Spouse's Name Deborah Trotman
Event Date 10 Apr 1829
Event Place North Nibley,Gloucester,England
(So just south of Stinchcombe & east of Berkeley, across the Severn from the FoD)

1851 Census Chapel Street, Llanelly, Breconshire, Wales
Household Role Gender Age Birthplace
John Woodward Head M 47 Butcher Berkely, Gloucestershire
Deborah Woodward Wife F 50 Berkely, Gloucestershire
Enoch Woodward Son M 18 Assistant Berkely, Gloucestershire
Jane Woodward Daughter F 17 Assistant Berkely, Gloucestershire
Sarah Woodward Daughter F 15 Berkely, Gloucestershire
John Woodward Son M 12 Berkely, Gloucestershire
Charles Woodward Son M 8 Treirthin, Monmouthshire

Familysearch carries several Baptisms for this family, see https://familysearch.org
including;

Name Enoch Woodward
Gender Male
Christening Date 26 Aug 1832
Christening Place Berkeley, Gloucester, England
Father's Name John Woodward
Mother's Name Deborah Woodward

Which suggests they were definitely still in Glos when the first UK census was taken in 1841, so why no census results from Familysearch ?.

Try tweaking the search filters - golden rule may apply, "less = more", and it seems the family are living in Wales in 1841; perhaps Deborah returned home to be with her mother for the birth, altho this is pre GWR & Severn Bridge etc, so ?
