Jane, Quite a while ago I hired the LDS film of W-U-E bishop's transcripts and I wrote a list of the surnames I could read on its somewhat faded records. I've found my notebook - somewhat tatty now - and in the years 1801, 02, 03 & 06 ther are no Rodway's so it seems that batch 7211813 which contains submitted entries, may not have been found in church records. Perhaps an LDS member found them in a census and guessed birth dates. I think you should hire film number 427812 at an LDS FHC and check out my statement above. Regarding IGI entries, you will find it better to use http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyGloucester_(N-Z).htm#W where there are only batches of info. extracted from church records but bear in mind that extracted entries are deleted as time goes by.
