Hi Brian, the information I have given you was from the IGI. It is difficult when looking for people when they have been born in Newland. Newland is a village in it's own right, but I have discovered that it also covered a wide number of villages acting like a district I suppose. Confusing!

I found a Mary Ellis, MIL, with a John Dobbs and his family on the 1851 census for Coleford, Newland. It gave her age as 61 so I figured that the christening for 1791 could match with that person and that this info could be right with your family.
