Sorry, I didn't make it very clear.
It's William's father Thomas that I can't find on the census'. He should at least be on the 1841, because William gives his fathers details as 'Thomas Royal, Labourer' on his 1847 marriage.
I have William on the census, but I can't link him to his parents. I was hoping for a mother's name on William's Christening, so I had another avenue to search. There aren't that many Royal's in Gloucester.
William married in the Parish church in Thornbury, which is all I know about his religion.
The closest LDS church library to me is about 3/4 hour away by car. I have 4 children, so unfortunately it's not very practical.
You did give me an idea though, I could get the Gloucesterhire Archives to do a search for me. It takes a while though, but I will let you know the results.
Thank you both for all your help.
