Hello Again Caroline,

Wait, Waite and mispellings were and may still be common in FoD. Name is variation on White. There were plenty of them around in late 18th and 19th Centuries.

There were quite a lot Waite's in Soudley/Bradley Hill at the time and not all related to my Waite's. You mention Bream and St Briavels. Faced with your problem, I would get myself down to Gloucester County Records and spend time on those Parish records on fiche. You'll probably find the answer. If not, widen the dragnet. It's a lovely place, only costs a couple of quid a day, and there's a nice Pub down the road where BBC Gloucester staff go for lunch. You'll hear some interesting chat.

Best of Luck, and Happy Christmas,

Roger
