Help with IGI please- Newland or Coleford? (General)

Hi
I have Henry Frowen b c 1818 son of William and Elizabeth
I have William Frowen married to Elizabeth Aston in June 1799 fron the IGI.

I did a parent search on the IGI and it returned 14 Children. However these mostly seem to be the same children listed twice, the first 6 at Coleford and these entries say 'Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record', and the other 8 at Newland, but these have been submitted by a member-

Why are they submitted as Newland, when the original says Coleford?

Not sure is they are mine, Henry is not listed except for one born 1808 who died in 1808 also. I suppose he could have been named after him.

Thanks

If you check the members area of this website you'll see that in the Parish Records Section under Coleford Baptisms George, Thomas, Ann, Hannah, John, Susanah, Henry (your Henry born 1818) and James Frowen are all listed with their parents given as William and Elizabeth

...The Chapelry of St John's Church Coleford was in the Newland "parish" - just to confuse :-)
