Worgan's Wood (General)

I am searching for information about Worgan's Wood in the Forest of Dean. I believe our family lived in the Forest of Dean area. Not sure if family actually lived in Worgan's Wood, however I would just like to know a little more about the origins of the Wood, and any info that might be available about it.

My direct decendants departed from Cardiff between 1881 and 1884 - can't find the ship they sailed on, let alone entry records into Australia, however we do know they took up land in Australia in October 1884. Perhaps they jumped ship in Australia?

Thomas Worgan b 17-6-1851, d 21-10-1910
William Henry Worgan b 1842 d 15-10-1911
Emma Worgan (nee Prince) b 1837 d 1888
Elizabeth H Worgan b 1878 d 1888

Thank you,
