Hi Sue,

I note you are interested in the St Briavels area re your ancestor William who is proving elusive. Also that you will be visiting the area. This might be a long shot but regarding Christopher you mentioned he died unmarried but not sure when or where.
Have you considered he might have married and had children ?
There is a Christopher Hulin who married a widow Margaret Moran in 1825 and lived on St Briavels Common. They had children Martha,Elizabeth and William. Martha appears to have died as an infant at The Hudnalls.
they appear in 1841 Census. Christopher looks to have died 1875 (taken from my memory).
In my opinion all look like a good possibility except for Christopher's age in 1841 Census which isn't an exact match. However i have only seen a transcription which might be an error although recorded ages sometimes are only approximate or the Enumerator might have been deaf.
A house called "The Hudnalls" appears on "Right Move" for sale at £1.7 million. Apparently it was owned for 50 years by the grand daughter of Edward John Eyre, the explorer after whom Lake eyre and Eyre's Peninsula are named (if you are an Aussie.) Looks like a nice area. I think The Hudnals and St Briavel Common might have been extra parochial land.
National Library of Scotland Ordnance Survey maps might bring up extra information.

Might be a piece for the jigsaw and might lead back to John and Sarah Hulin in a round about way.
Good luck

Hi Sue
Since you will be visiting St Briavels later this year, i hope you won't mind my suggesting a site i found very interesting to read about the area through history. It is "British History online".
In particular, " A History of the County of Gloucester : Volume 5, Bledisloe Hundred, St Briavels Hundred,the Forest of Dean".
You should be able to find St Briavels from this.
In it you should be able to find a detailed history, including the numbers of cottages and trades in the villages at different points of time.The Hulin family is mentioned, with a number of them being Masons in the 19th Century as well as being in the area earlier in the 18th Century. If my previous comment about Christopher Hulin looks promising to you, there will be references to Hudnall and Coldharbour to explore.
I realise this doesn't help you find your William but it should give you a feel for the locality and maybe focus your search .
I don't know how much effort or time you are able to devote to the search but something which worked for me was exploring the local church parish registers in detail. If for example you have a subscription to Ancestry or similar and are able to view the actual parish registers on line, you could go back page by page recording the details of all Hulins recorded. Then try to match them in to family groups, also paying attention to the names of any witnesses. Using the actual Census records for the areas to compare, say for 1851 & 41 with the Parish Registers should give you a feel for the area and the people in it.
St Briavels and surroundings don't appear to have been overpopulated and the distances between villages weren't anywhere near as large as the Hunter River area so hopefully the search should be fruitful.
Good luck.

Hi Sue,
I don't want to confuse or complicate your search any further but have you searched the Forum index in this site for Hulin ? There will be twelve pages of previous posts where Hulin is mentioned. Among the entries is one where someone posted that they had a CD with a complete Hulin family history in it. (posted in 2011).
One branch of the family had a farm in Awre which isn't too far away. A Google search for "Hulin's Farmhouse" will bring up a historic building archive with a photograph of the building. Still standing at time of entry but abandoned. Near there is an estate "Oaklands Park" where Hulins worked. I believe it is sometimes open for visitors. One of the many many historic buildings to visit if interested.

Awre might be somewhere to keep in the back of your mind when looking for records if St Briavels fails.
