Yes, thank you, I had come to the same conclusion. In the 1841 Deborah’s forename is barely recognizable but, if you know what it’s likely to be, it’s clear.

GR 1841 Census, Gloucester, St Catherine, St Catherine’s (Knap? Keep?)

George WOODWARD, 45, Side Waiter (Customs?), born in County
Deborah, 45, born in County

Provided things have not changed drastically this is all close to the Cathedral and to Park Street where Deborah WOODWARD lived at the time of the 1843 registration of the death of Elizabeth POYNER.

There was another Elizabeth POYNER living in the same area in the 1841 but I can show that this is the wife of Robert POYNER, a servant, of Taynton, working in College Precinct at that time. This Elizabeth (nee HOLTHAM/HOLTOM) died in 1847. If I can establish a link (other than the death registration) between Deborah WOODWARD and Elizabeth POYNER (buried 1843) I will be home and dry.
