From GFHS Marriage Index:
30 April 1831 James BRAIN married Mary HERBERT by Banns at Abenhall. Both from Hundred of St Briavels which means they were living on extra parochial land.

1 December 1823 John FIELD of Upton St Leonards married Susan HOPKINS by Licence at Brimpsfield.

John and Susan FIELD were both alive in 1881:

This is a possible baptism for Susan HOPKINS from IGI:
4 July 1802 Susan baptised at Colesborne Parents: George HOPKINS and Hannah.

and this entry from 1851 Census:

Possible marriage from GFHS Marriage Index:
3 November 1800 George HOPKINS married Hannah BISHOP by Banns at Stanway.

There is a number of possible baptisms for James BRAIN listed in the IGI.

For Mary HERBERT we have this possible:
31 October 1809 Mary HERBUT baptised at Ruardean. Parents John HERBUT and Sarah.
This is a good example of phonetic spelling!

Sarah was widowed in 1851. This is the family:
