Herberts of Oxenhall (General)

Dear Jim

I note in your posting that you mention Herberts (tamar herbert etc) of Oxenhall. I just wonder in your research whether you can shed any light on a Herbert whose parentage I can't identify.

She is Jane Herbert born 10 feb 1796 who married a William Phillips also of Oxenhall in Newent in 1817.

There are no Jane Herberts from that time in Oxenhall who I can identify. The nearest is an Anne Herbert baptised 18 April 1796 to an Ann and John Herbert junior. There was a Henry Herbert as a witness who might possibly the one born 1779 to John and Nancy who are in your tree - so possibly an uncle or cousin of 'Jane'.

It seems Jane/Anne's birth/baptisms are so close as to be likely to be the same person and that she assumed the name Jane perhaps from a middle name. If you can shed any light as a result of your own herbert enquiries I would be most interested

thanks
