The 1841 Churcham census says - William Long - colt breaker - born in this country
so he was born in Glouc.
he was married in Aston Ingham - herfordshire to Caroline Markey the daughter of the blacksmith there.
I am assuming he being a colt breaker he would have me here thought her fahters business - blackmithing.
He may have been born in Bridwood as he lived there at one time but I have exhausted all avenues. I did find a Robert long who was a Carpenter but no baptisim for a son William.

Thankyou for your trouble

I guess I will have to get back to the drawing board
