Thank you for your welcome and reply! Of course you can have a copy of the death cert - if you let me have your e-mail that will be fine.
As to the relationship between CHS and Miranda: Miranda had two older siblings - a brother Thomas b1844 and sister Ellen b1846. Their mother Maria Wheeler eventually married Thomas Knight in 1850, and they had two more children. The name Knight is actually on Ellen's birth certificate (although crossed out and re-inserted). So she definitely knew Thomas before Miranda's birth.
I believe CHS was in Batheaston in 1841, married in Bedminster (Bristol) in 1850 and was in Liverpool in the 1851 census, so unless you know that he could have been in Gloucester in 1847, my instinct is that he and Miranda had the affair!
Fascinating, isn't it?
