Green Bottom East Dean Gloucestershire

[queenswood 1]

This is a very random question but I am trying to find out about a family living at Green Bottom between 1881 and 1921 and wondered how big Green Bottom was, what its population would have been- and if there are any specific OPC records online.
It seems that the 1911 census has some entries but I can only find these if I know the surname. I have several factors that i am trying to discount and wondered if Green Bottom is included in any OPC for Gloucestershire.
Sorry to be so vague at this stage but I am looking for a needle in a haystack and have a lot of hay to wade through!!!!

1911 has 5 people with Green Bottom as their birthplace - all living in Gloucs

If you google “how big is green bottom in gloucestershire” some interesting photos come up.  Seems to be quite a small place - classed as a hamlet on one hit

Thak you so very very much. I had found 3 I think with the surname williams but to know there are only 5 entries that is encouraging. Thank you so very much- I will have another look later.

I am still struggling to find the 5 entries to which you refer.
Could  ask you to just tell me the surnames of the 5 that are listed please.
Thank you so very very much

Thank you! I have now just joined the Forest of Dean Family History page- and the name Williams may well be significant.
So many thanks

Hi

I had a look to see which RD Green Bottom came under but it's not listed.  2 of the 5 entries give it as East Dean which is Westbury on Severn RD
