Dene, I don't know if this will be any help at all, but on the Gloucestershire Marriage Index, there are these marriages at Hempsted for female ROBERTS: 19 May 1835 John SESSIONS & Eliza ROBERTS, both of Littleworth, 31 December 1832 Ezekiel HOOPER & Ann ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 3 July 1815 Edward TOWNSEND & Ann ROBERTS, both of Littleworth, 6 May 1828 John PAGETT & Elizabeth ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 4 April 1814 William PRICE & Hannah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 20 November 1827 Richard PARK &Harriet ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 2 February 1829 Henry MAY & Keziah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 15 May 1828 James MATTHEWS & Lydia ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 12 May 1834 Joseph WHITTON & Mary ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 19 December 1814 William WOOD & Mary ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 21 April 1834 William GRAFTON & Patience ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 1 November 1813 Thomas CLEVELE & Sarah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 21 October 1822 Benjamin TOMNEY & Sarah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth Then these for male ROBERTS: 12 April 1828 Benjamin ROBERTS & Ann HINTS, both of Littleworth 4 March 1811 Charles ROBERTS & Mary DAUGH, both of Littleworth 12 November 1834 Edward ROBERTS & Mary HAWKINS, both of Littleworth 17 October 1825 Henry ROBERTS & Elizabeth MASON, both of Littleworth 13 February 1832 James John ROBERTS & Honour ALDRIDGE, both of Littleworth 17 February 1818 John ROBERTS & Frances Rebe HAVILAND, both of Littleworth 10 March 1817 Richard ROBERTS & Mary TOMBS, both of Littleworth 6 February 1831 Thomas ROBERTS & Elizabeth HALE, both of Littleworth 28 October 1827 William ROBERTS & Hannah HOLLIS, both of Littleworth 15 April 1829 William ROBERTS & Martha THOMAS, both of Littleworth Given that William is described as a Master Iron Founder and was an employer, did he perhaps leave a will which might help with clues as to his parentage. Are any of the above names used in the naming of William & Elizabeth's children which might therefore give you a clue as to Elizabeth's parentage? I think you will also have to consult the parish records of both Stroud and Littleworth to progress further back.
