?  There are some Prison Records for a George COX on the Gloucestershire Genelogical Database and include :

George COX, 7 May 1837 aged 21, of St Briavels, Labourer 

George, labourer, from St Briavels, stole a Wheelbarrow from Tidenham - and was sentenced to 4 Calendar Months at Lawfords Gate, 3 weeks of which where in solitude. 
Dark brown hair, dark hazel eyes, round visage, common complextion, no marks etc. height: 5 feet 3 and a half inches.

===

George COX 16 February 1841, aged 22 - of St Briavels (Where Emma COX was christened 5 September 1841)

Again more info on Ancestry, he was given 5 months on the 3 March 1841, and he was from St Briavels, stole, a goose and fowls - description seems the same, ie. dark eyes etc. 5' 3inches

So he would be in Prison on the 1841 census, usually census don't give the christian name

George COX, 12 January 1845 - aged 27, labourer of Tidenham
