Charani thank you for your reply and advice. Have tried both suggestions, but have been unable to find the location I am seeking. Am endeavouring to find the location of an address I have from a 1841 Census in the hope I may be able to find the nearest Church with the further hope of locating parish records. The address: High Orchard Row, Hempstead, South Hamlet. Registration District: Gloucester Union; Civil Parish: Hempstead; Sub-District: South Hamlet. No Ecclesiastical Parish recorded. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

High Orchard is that part of Hempsted lane near the remains of Llantony Priory East of London FHS member All e'mail scanned by McAfee virusscan
There is lots of information on Hempted and a map showing the location of the parish (and neigbouring ones) at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Hempsted/index.html If you click on the outline map it leads to parish maps for Gloucestershire. Karen
