There is a marriage for a John Bidmead to a Mary Charles on 14 June 1786 at Bristol.

Family search has a burial for a Mary Bidmead on 19 February 1790 at Gloucester so might be the Mary who married John.

Or maybe a Brother of Richard was the Witness?

Marriage;
04 Aug 1816, St Nary de Lode, Gloucester
John BIDMADE to Ann SMITH
(FreeREG)

FreeREG has Richards Marriage to Mary Payne 1822 under Bidmade also.

From Familysearch.Org;
Christenings;
JOHN Bidmead 1788 Bisley, Glous, Father JOHN
RICHARD Bidmot, 25 March 1796 Oxenhall, Glous to JOHN/MARY********
SARAH Bidmot, 4 Feb 1798, Oxenhall, Glous to JOHN/MARY
MARY, 29 Sept 1807, Oxenhall, Glous to JOHN/MARY

Now Trees have John 1769- as a Soldier, died 26 JUL 1809 • Battle of Talavera, Spain

Married Mary CHARLES 1786 (born 1769, died 1845)
Children;
Richard 1796
Sarah 1798
Joseph 1804
Mary 1807
Joseph born Sussex;

Christening, F/S.Org;
JOSEPH Bidmid, 30 December 1804, Horsham, Sussex to JOHN/MARY

So there must be Children born elsewhere between 1787-1795

1851 in Newent, Glous we have;
Mary Bichmead, 71, Independant, born in County
Joseph Bichmead, 35, Mason, not born in County

I also notice a Marriage on F/S.Org which may be related;
Elizabeth BIDMEAD or Bidmend married William CROCKET, 2 June 1839, St. Mary-De-Lode'S Church, Gloucester
Elizabeths Father JOHN

Ooops the Census I quoted was the 1841 not 1851. So May Charles born c 1770 Glous.

Re your PM there is this possible for John;

JNO Bidmead Christened 10 Oct 1766, Bisley, Glous, Father JNO
Siblings;
JOHN, 15 Jan 1762, must have died
SAMUEL, 24 June 1761
BETTY, 7 Oct 1762
ANNE, 8 Aug 1763
RICHARD, 29 Dec 1765
MARTHA, 6 March 1768
HESTER, 27 March 1770
(F/S.Org)
There may be other Children but I just looked quickly

Now Trees have his Father as SAMUEL and Mother ANN nee Bliss

How to prove which is yours would be hard .
