So I'd start with the St Peters records before looking elsewhere :-)

Thank you for the prompt answer.I know that JAMES BALLINGER,her husband,my 2x Gt Grandfather is buried in St Peter`s in Clifford Mesne.This was in 1910.These details are in the Parish Records.I also believe he was mentioned in the Gloucester Journal.? Would it have been common for married women to have gone back to be buried with their parents.I have not looked at the records for Upton St Leonards yet.
My parents married in St Peter`s,Cliffords Mesne,my mother was living at Tump Cottage when I was born in 1943.
With regards Rita Ballinger.

You would expect her to be in St Peter's Cliffords Mesne (Newent), Gloucestershire ( our transcriptions for Cliffords Mesne 1909-1915 do not yet cover this period) Some later Ballengers are married in Gorsley

Newent 1876

GORSLEY and CLIFFORDS MESNE are two hamlets of this parish, which in 1872
were formed into a separate ecclesiastical district, having a population of about 1320.
There are schools in each of the hamlets, in which divine service is held, the one at
Gorsley having been erected in 1872, and the one at Cliffords Mesne about 12 years since.

Have you tried Upton St Leonards / Cranham ?

Could she be buried with her parents ?

I am trying to find where my 2x Gt Grandmother Emma Ballinger is buried.She died on the 26th May 1886.As she was living in Cliffords Mesne,Newent at the time I expected her to come up in the Parish Records for that area,but she does`nt.There was an inquest for her on the 28th May 1886 in Newent,at the Bull Inn.
Any idea`s welcome.With regards Rita Ballinger.
