My great-great grandfather was George Lewis 1801-1875. He lists Avening as his birhplace on all the census forms.
On his marriage certificate in 1821 in Horsley an Enoch Lewis signed.
I have not found his birth so far . What I have found is the following :
James and Esther Lewis in Avening have the following children :
Enoch Bap. Dec 30 1784
Daniel Bap Feb 7 1778
Sarah Bap April 20 1782
Thomas Bap Feb 1780
I believe the Enoch above was the father of George and signed his marriage certificate. Enoch may also have been the father of Enoch born 1806 and Peter born 1804 . Both list Avening as their birthplace.
I have not been able to verify that Enoch Sr is the father of George Lewis.
All the non-conformist listed in the Forest Green List have been checked.
Appreciate any suggestions as to where I should look next.

{my comments etc} below.
My great-great grandfather was George Lewis 1801-1875. He lists Avening as his birhplace on all the census forms. {Bear in mind that Avening might be the place to which his parents moved whilst he was only 1-3 say and where he can remember growing up.} On his marriage certificate in 1821 in Horsley an Enoch Lewis signed. {Might be a brother but not on an m-cert (marriage register? - Where?) before Sept 1837 - if Enoch bap. 1784 (0r 1785?) he'd be a bit young in 1801 when George was born} I have not found his birth so far . What I have found is the following : James and Esther Lewis in Avening have the following children : Enoch Bap. Dec 30 1784 Daniel Bap Feb 7 1778 Sarah Bap April 20 1782 Thomas Bap Feb 1780 {Where was this found? There's an extracted record for an Enoch bap 1785 in Avening, Forest Green see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm } Snipped

The marriage information is from the parish record of Horsley on microfilm.
I have a copy of it and the date is actually September 21, 1920. He married Ann Keynton by banns. He made his mark and Enoch Lewis made his mark.
In 1841 Horsley there is an Enoch Lewis 35 living with his wife and children. I found a record that may be him dying June 1848. He could have been George's brother but would have been 14 signing the wedding certificate ? I don't know the qualifications for someone to witness a wedding.
Did they have to be of a legal age ?
The information on James and Esther came from friend in England who has CD's of the non-conformists in that area.
I figure that George just put down Avening and it could indeed be someplace else. I am interested that Enoch Jr and Peter Lewis all living in Horsley all put down Avening.
I have even wondered if George could have been Bap. in C of E ? But have not found him in Horsley or Kingscote microfilm. I did order it again to check again.
So many of the villages were included in those CD's that I am not sure where else to look.
At one time my father mentioned Malmesbury but the LDS does not seem to have any microfilms for that area.
Just a real puzzle. George married twice ,as Ann died early , and all children were Bap. in C of E in Horsley.
Thanks for your reply.

Additional information.
Thomas Lewis, son of George, is living in 1901 Nailsworth with his cousin Harriet Lewis Roan who is identified as a cousin.
Harriet ( married name Roan ) was the shown in the CD's as bap. August 26, 1831 daughter of Enoch Lewis and Mary Lusty Lewis.
In 1841 Walkley Wood, Horsley she is listed living with Enoch Lewis 35, and Mary.
This is my tie to George. His son Thomas and Enoch's daughter Harriet were cousins. This makes me think that Enoch Jr. is the brother of George.

Last Tuesday I ordered LDS film number 0425442 q.v. - the pink receipt's on my desk right now. If you think there might be something in it regarding Lewises etc. let me know the name & year by P.M. and I'll print the message and put it in my folder so as to remind me when the film arrives (2 - 3 weeks usually). Do not give a lengthy descriptive message and surnames in upper case please!
You said "Harriet ( married name Roan ) was the shown in the CD's as bap. August 26, 1831 daughter of Enoch Lewis and Mary Lusty Lewis. ". There's lots of Lustys in the area 
The IGI gives a few George L. extracted birth records for around 1800 in GLS, have you considered any of them? Even submitted items might give a clue of locations which could then be surname searched at the Hugh Wallis site. (That's my only use of the IGI's stuff)
"So many of the villages were included in those CD's that I am not sure where else to look."
If you do not have it get Parloc a free parish locator via http://www.parloc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/parlocdl.html . Used in conjunction with the Hugh Wallis site it's useful for conducting "shotgun" searches in village parishes around suspected birthplaces of families.
"At one time my father mentioned Malmesbury but the LDS does not seem to have any microfilms for that area."
Unusual that  You could use Parloc where you'll find it's in WIL then use the shotgun again  The WIL forum might find something too. You might find http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/FindingBatchNos.html useful sometimes.

P.S. I Have transcribed the Horsley burial data for the first decade of the 19th C and in it are :-
1801 Apr 19 John Lewis
1805 Feb 27 William Lewis
One must assume that they were not children for no parents are given
C

Thanks for all the information Chas.
I see you have Adams in your line for Horsley.
George Lewis's second wife was Mary Bown Bingle, a widow of Gideon Bingle. One of their daughters Sabine, was my great-grandmother.
Mary's sister Ann Bown married Peter Adams born March 27, 1776.
They went to live in Cirencester in 1841. I have their daughter Mary Ann Adams marrying Solomon Coates.
Is this any part of your Adams line ?

When I wrote my last message I added to the sentence about Lusty's in the area, " and the number of Bingles is amazing." but then deleted it! On the records for Minchinhampton there must be a Bingle b. m. or d on nearly every page!
The Adams branch, which I discovered a while ago, stems from when William Rice married an Ann Addams by Banns on 12 March 1800 in Horsley - I am reasonably satisfied (unfortunately!!) with that marriage being in my tree. However, trying to establish Ann Addams' birth is another problem for just in 1781 there were three A.A's baptized in Horsley (from Hugh Wallis site) hence my ordering the Horsley film because I always check source documents for all the IGI's alleged info.. Your Peter A's parents are shown as William & Sarah which means that none of the A.A's were his sibling but I expect they were cousins of some sort!

Chas
