I do belong (free to join) the Forest of Dean Family History forum and
William & Mary - had these children christened at English Bicknor
John - 1622

However, if I use the SOUNDEX on the Forest of Dean website for HILEY in English Bicknor - there are many more 'hits'
surname variations: HEILEY - HEILY, HEYLEY, HALLIE etc, some have father: William
Marriage 24 June 1605 - English Bicknor
