Oakley from Lydbrook

The print I have from 1881 census (from Ancestry.com) definately states Lydbrook, Glos.
Does Lydbrook belong to the district of Redbrook ?

Thanks for the other info., pity we couldn't establish the maiden name of Susannah.

Just looked at the image for 1881 - I think my money would be on Redbrook rather than Lydbrook.
But as it is clearly the same family, and manx-kate found his christening anyway, it does not really matter!

Susanna's maiden name? havent got that far yet!!

Getting one of the children's birth certs will give Susannah's maiden name.
I was hoping to find Alfred's birth reg for you, but have not succeeded - will look for others
