I think the neighbours in Dockham to the Waits in the 1851 census were the following (taken from the GFHS transcription):

1959 1851 CENSUS HO107/1959 FF.0294-0306 ED.4F NEWNHAM 1

Piece: 1959 Folio: 0299 Schedule: 018

Address: Dockham

MORGAN EDWARD HD M 36 Coal Miner GLS West Dean (c1815)
MORGAN ANN WI M 47 GLS Littledean (c1804)

rather than the Mayans. It looks like EDWARD MORGAN never married ANN and that is why I have never been able to find a marriage certificate.

Otherwise, my breath is taken away by the rapidity with which Slowhands' deductive powers is putting the pieces together. Very many thanks to you.

The goings on in the Forest of Dean: talk about "Cider with Rosy"! I guess with so many trees around, there were many hiding places for secret "trysts".
