Hi Michael. My difficulty is where to start. My main research is the Marfell family centred on the Forest of Dean, but spread worldwide, their links spread far and wide.
Esther Herbert is my 1st cousin 5 times removed, her father John Herbert is my 5 times great Uncle, her mother Sarah Mason is my 5th cousin 4 times removed.
Starting with John Herbert, he was baptised 27.4.1788 Ruardean - (all events Ruardean unless shown otherwise), died 1847, son of William Herbert who was baptised 29.9.1758 buried 25.11.1789 & Hannah Yemm baptised 1.8.1758 buried 29.12.1789. William & Hannah married 12,5.1782. William Herbert 1758 was the son of William Herbert & Margaret Wood. William 1758 had a sister Sarah who married a Richard Baldwin, they had 7 children including a son Moses who married Lucy Marfell, 17.4.1808 Abenhall (a lot of Ruardean marriages took place in Abenhall at this time as the vicar lived there)
Sarah Mason 1788 was one of the 8 children of George Mason & Mary Tippins, Mary Tippins baptised 1.12.1765 they married 7.11.1787. Sarah 1788 had a brother Thomas baptised 4.11.1804 who married a Tabitha Wilce, they had 6 children including Elizabeth Mason who married Benjamin Marfell, who is the subject of other forum discussion on this web site and for whom I have posted a picture. Mary Tippins 1765 was one of the 9 childen of William Tippins 1744 & Sarah Wilce 1745. Sarah Wilce 1745 was one of the 7 childen of Thomas Wilce baptised 26.1.1707 died 1773 & Susannah Marfell baptised 29.12.1706.
I didn't previously have the marriage details for John Herbert 2.4.1809 Walford, posted elsewhere on this string, I do know however that their first child Mary was baptised 31.10.1809 Mary Herbert 1809 married James Brain 13.4.1831 Abenhall he being baptised 3.9.1809 and they had 8 children including Enos Brain born 13.9.1838 Collafield - a report concering the murder of Enos in America, also his family portrait is to be found on this incredibly useful web site.
I didn't previously have details of Esther's marriage to John Webb or their childen, thanks to the person who submitted that.
As you can possibly perceive from this message, the detail here is a very small part of the information available, if you wish to email me separately, I can provide much more. You may in turn be able to help me with Herberts.
My G G G Grandfather Cornelius Marfell 1779 married a Rosanna Herbert on 24.7.1811 she born 1789 and buried 26.10.1817. He then married a Tamar Herbert baptised 10.8.1792 daughter of John Herbert & Nancy Morgan John & Nancy married 18.12.1776 Oxenhall and had 8 children. I have no details for Rosanna Herbert 1789 and would appreciate any information.
