As there is preponderance of Biblical names in both families this might suggest a Non-Conformist background. This area of Gloucestershire had many Non-Conformist congregations. Personally I have concentrated on Shortwood Baptist Church, Horsley - the largest village Baptist congregation in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, with people travelling from the surrounding district to attend. There were some Biblical names amongst the congregation including Hepzibah and Barzillai but most of the name were usual English names even amongst the ministers' families. Cheers, Janet Heskins
