Thank you, both, Tilly and Capetown!  I've not heard of Forest-of-Dean.net but will give it a go!

Many thanks!!

?  Just looking at the baptisms on the Forest of Dean Site, ie looking for family names.

Elizabeth 1718  @ Saul
William 1722 @ Saul
John 1726 @ Saul
Martha 1727 @ Fretherne
Mary 1729 @ Saul***
James ETHERIDG  1733 @ Whitminster
William 1734 @ Whitminster
Nathaniel 1740 @ Saul

On the records for the baptism of Mary 1729….

It states parents Timothy and Elizabeth (mother’s surname:  PULLUM)
Memoranda :  illegitimate dau

There are some Elizabeth Pullen/PAWLIN/POOLEN around that time.  Always best to use the soundex for Surnames when searching.

There is in the Forest of Dean records, a burial at Saul 5 June 1728

For Elizabeth Etheridge, wife of Timothy.

So, the baptisms of the children have 2 mothers both Elizabeth.

Thank you, Capetown,
It appears, then, that Elizabeth Greenway died shortly after the birth of Martha and Timothy took up with Elizabeth Pullum being a widower and having small children.  They then had 4 more children.

I tried to join the Forest of Dean records site but it's not working at present. Can't find a marriage for E Pullum and T Etheridge so maybe they just co-habituated.  Anyway, lots of work to do.

Thank you so much for your help!
