I found a record the following records refering to Hannah Herbert, baptised 28 Aug 1785 Ruardean. Her parents were William Herbert, baptised 29 Sep 1758 Ruardean. Her mother was Hannah Yemm.
A Hannah Herbert married a Johnathan Marfell on 13 April 1803 at Hope Mansell. The two witnesses to this marriage were Richard Marfell and Lydia Marfell.
(All records found on this site)
As the marriage record does not show parents of either bride or groom I hesitate to enter this marriage as correct in my Herbert line.
I cannot find either Hannah or Jonathan on the census, perhaps they were not alive by 1841.
Could anyone help me find the parents of Jonathan and any children of the couple?
I have Hannah's parental records but no information on the Marfell side or the demise of the couple.
Regards Jean Herbert

Hi Jean

If you go into Advanced Search for the event Baptism and put in the Surname Marfell and the Fathers name Jonathan and mothers name Hannah it will give you a list of 11 children belonging to Jonathan and Hannah.

I thought I had explained this to you in an email, but now that it appears as a question on this web site, my answer is below :

My version of events are that Jonathon Marfell bap 17 Apr 1764 married Hannah Herbert bap 8 Dec 1779 at Hope Mansell 13 Apr 1803. This Hannah Herbert was the daughter of John Herbert 1745 & Nancy Morgan. Her sister Tamar Herbert 1792 married Jonathon Marfell's brother Cornelius Marfell 1779 it being his second marriage, his first to a Rosanna Herbert 1789 who I have never traced.

Jonathon Marfell my 4 times Great Uncle and Cornelius Marfell my 3 times Great Grandfather were the sons of Richard Marfell 1734 & Mary Brain 1738, my 4 times Great Grandparents.

Jonathon Marfell 1764 died 9 Sep 1829 Street Farm, Hope Mansell, buried 12 Sep 1829 Hope Mansell & Hannah Herbert 1779 died 18 October 1829 Street Farm, Hope Mansell, buried 21 Oct 1829 Hope Mansell. Burials are not recorded in the Parish Records on this web site.

Memorial inscription - note Hannah's age :
Underneath are the remnants of Jonathan MARFELL of this parish who died Sept 9th 1829, aged 65 years, also Hannah MARFELL his wife died Oct 18 1829 aged 49 years, also Mary their daughter died August 5th 1829, aged 17 years. These all died in consequence of the fever. Jonathan MARFELL son of the above died March 12th 1838, aged 21.

I have wills for both Jonathon & Hannah Marfell(purchased from National Archives), one of the beneficiaries of Hannah's will was John Herbert.Jonathon & Hannah Marfell had 11 Children.

Hannah Herbert 1785 is my half 4 times great aunt and I have no marriage for her. Her parents William Herbert 1758 my 4 times great grandfather & Hannah Yemm. An oddity of the way relationships work is that William Herbert is my 4 times Great Grandfather, going back from his desendants from his first second wife Martha Woore who is my 4 times great grandmother. Their daughter Elizabeth Herbert married Thomas Marfell - my 3 times Great Grandfather. However William Herbert 1758's first wife Hannah Yemm 1758 is not related by me except by marriage i.e. she is not my 4 times Great Grandmother. I should say that I do not work out these relationships, my Family Tree software does.
