This entry must refer to the father of the William PRIDE/PRIDER/PUDE baptised at Newland in 1815 and suggests that the surname must be PRIDE.

BNA Gloucester Journal - Monday 28 October 1811

SERVANT ABSCONDED

WHEREAS WILLIAM HARDING, Servant in Husbandry to Mr John Pride, Farmer of Longney, in the Parish of Newland, and County of Gloucester, left his Master’s Service on Sunday, the 21st inst.

October 21, 1811 JOHN PRIDE

British-History tells us that Longney is now Longley. It is a farm and can be found on Streetmap a short distance south of Clearwell .

Just to recap an earlier post on this thread, from this site's PRs we can find this marriage and baptism which seem to fit;

The British History website also gives this reference to a William Pride at Alvington at this same time, who may possibly be related to the above events ?

"The manor house, ALVINGTON COURT, and the demesne lands were leased by Llanthony priory in 1537 to Arthur Porter, who received them in fee together with the site of the priory, at Gloucester, in 1540. Arthur (d. 1558 or 1559) was succeeded by his son Sir Thomas Porter (d. 1597), whose son Arthur sold Alvington Court farm in 1599 to Sir Robert Woodruff. Sir Robert (d. 1609) was succeeded by his nephew Robert Woodruff (d. 1638) and Robert by his son Thomas. At the end of the century the estate belonged to Sir George Woodruff who sold it to the lord of the manor John Higford (d. 1706). It then passed in turn to John's brothers, James, the Revd. Henry (d. 1715), and William (d. 1733). William left it to his son William (d. 1770), who gave a life interest to his wife Elizabeth. She married c. 1774 James Eaton but separated from him in 1780. On her death or surrender c. 1791 the estate reverted to her brother-in-law, the Revd. Henry Higford. In 1805 John Parsons and the two Davis sisters sold Alvington Court farm to William Pride, who sold it in 1808 to Thomas and John Morse. Thomas (d. 1833) left his share to John, who sold the farm in 1837 to Nathaniel Lloyd (d. 1845). Lloyd left it to his brother Thomas, who left it to his nephew John James (d. 1855), a Newnham solicitor."
