Southrop parish birth - SELWOOD, Robert b.1831

[forthekids]

Hi,
Am looking for assistance tracking the parish birth record of a Robert Selwood born in Southrop about 1831.  He may have a brother named Thomas.  Hoping to get info on who his parents were and maybe some help taking this back a generation. 

Any and all information gratefully received.

Thankyou

There is a tree on A*****y I haven't checked sources - it gives
Robert Selwood as the son of Thomas Selwood b.1796 d.1831
and Hannah b.1803 d.1872
married 1821 tetbury Glos
Hannah then remarried 1831 to Robert Dowdeswell
no maiden name given for Hannah
sometimes Hannah's are entered as "Ann"
so could this be Robert Selwood's mother in 1851?

1851Tetbury Gloucester
Robert Dowdeswell Head M 44 Tetbury
Ann wife 53 Malmesbury Wilts
Harry Sellwood step son 23 Tetbury
Robert Dowdeswell son 15
Jacob Dowdeswell son 12

Hi

Does Robert marry Ann Jones ? His father on the cert. is called William Sellwood.

On the 1841 census, there is a family in Southrop transcribed SELLARDS on Anc*, looks like Sellards too, but could be the family

Just checked the marriage record again, although he names himself Robert SELLWOOD his brother ENOS SELLARDS is one of the witnesses.

This does look like it could be the family!  It is interesting then that he would adopt Selwood if his brother maintained the name Sellard.  Was that common?

I do have Robert marrying an Ann Jones but didn't have his father's name on the index.   Where could I track down the certificate?

I went down the road of Robert Dowdeswell before but found what appears to be a record of him dying young.

Thanks for helping me work through this everyone!
