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

Where exactly is Clearwell please? It's not on my map of parishes (the one split into five parts. I'm looking at the Forest of Dean part now.)

I'm a bit frustrated. LDS doesn't have St. Briavels past 1812. This wonderful site appears to have it to 1831, but I need 1842 or perhaps 1843. I thought I was being smart by ordering the BTs for 1842 in lieu of the unfilmed parish records, but St. Briavels isn't listed! I went to see the roll tonight. It starts with Saintbury. I went through all of the S's and even to the end of the roll.

I'm at a loss as to why the record wasn't listed in the civil births. I've checked every permutation of the surname, first name and even "male" with the surname. Arggh.

Does anyone know where to access St. Briavels records that won't cost me a fortune?
