Stowe help needed. Also - my family. (General)

Thanks so much. Newland is online, so I ruled that out straightaway.

St. Briavels only goes to 1831 here and for some inexplicable reason, it hasn't been filmed by the LDS nor is it on the BVRI 2nd edition which I own (and on which I found the marriage I had been seeking for 20 years.)

The whole case is odd. Andrew Graham was born, according to several Australian records (he emigrated there) in 1842. I can find NOTHING from the Civil Registration for Andrew Graham in Gloucestershire (doing a few years forward and a few back) and none of the "Male Graham"s seem to be right either. I'm at a loss as to why his birth wasn't registered and so I was hoping to find his baptism in Stowe.

By summer of 1844, the family was somewhere in Northern Ireland.

Does anyone here have any access to St. Briavels records for the 1842 time frame and could do a lookup? I'm American, so my only resources to swap in return would be American ones (Ancestry lookup, etc.)

Thanks for any advice. This family is driving me nuts. They moved around too much.
