I believe (not certain about this) that Forest Green had no C of E church, but probably had a chapel. For C of E registers I think you might need to investigate Nailsworth or Minchinhampton.

i'm not 100% sure what time frame. i asked the state library in south australia for some information on a coen family. they said that a john coen was born about 1853 to a 'british shepherd, matthew coen'. i'm not sure if john was born in england, so i was hoping to access the registers to see if any matthew's are mentioned in them, and try to trace them forwards. i could not find any matthew coen's in gloucester on the census though.

Have you looked on the Glos BMD site http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/MainMenu.aspx ? All the Gloucestershire birth registrations (ie post-1837) should be here, complete with mother's maiden name - quite likely more use than the parish register. Marriage are indexed, too, plus some deaths.

the name is spelt coen on the only record i have of it, a birth cert in 1864 south australia. it can be jewish or irish from what i have found on the surname. i jus figured if i could find a matthew having kids at forest green, maybe one would be a john, and i could trace the family forwards, to see if any of them came to australia.

Another thought - is it definitely the Forest Green in Gloucestershire that you need? There is at least one other - in Surrey.Pitman / Pittman in North Glos (Didbrook, Prestbury, Longhope, Tewkesbury, Stow, Cirencester, etc), London & Australia
