Thanks Slowhands

Must be a different Henry.

Elizabeth Marfell born 1833 daughter of Edward Marfell & Jane Susannah Cummins, definitely married Henry Dobbs 27.2.1868, St Martins, Worcester - I have the marriage certificate. Henry a miller was shown as the son of Joseph Dobbs Miller.

I "assumed", it seems now wrongly, that there was a second marriage owing to the 1871 Census where Elizabeth (Dobbs) was with her father, plus an Elizabeth Dobbs born 1869. The 1881 Census for Henry Dobbs & Emma - as shown by you above, also included an Elizabeth born 1869.

1871 Census Mitcheldean
Edward Marfell 64 Labourer Mitcheldean
Jane wife 67 Dymock
Elizabeth Dobbs visitor marr 36 Mitcheldean
Jemima dtr UM 34 Aston Ingham
William grandson 12 Mitcheldean
Elizabeth Dobbs visitor 18 mths East Dean
John James UM 39 lodger

It is possible that father Joseph on the marriage certificate could be known as John - it happens. However, I have now deleted the second marriage and all children except Elizabeth 1869 from my Family Tree.
