Thank you slowhands and Jim for considering my previous post William & Martha HERBERT - 2 different families??? which is now locked: http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=36978

From your replies would it be reasonable to assume that sometime after his first wife Hannah YEMM 1758-1789 died, William HERBERT 1758-1824 and Martha [UNKNOWN now not WOORE] lived in Ruardean Hill and had 5 children:

Elizabeth HERBERT bap 11 Mar 1804 (died before 1808)
Margaret HERBERT bap 9 Feb 1806 married George PARSONS 1804-1875
Elizabeth HERBERT bap 26 Apr 1808 - bur 21 Jan 1880 age 79
William HERBERT bap 26 Feb 1809 - bur 13 Dec 1839 age 30 married Sarah DOBBS
Charles HERBERT bap 6 Dec- bur 15 Dec 1811

If so, I presume that there is no known record for William's second marriage to Martha possibly between 1789 and 1804. Or they may not have married? Is there any way to find out who she was?

According to a note in JL Phillips-Evans article The Herbert Family of Ruardean, when William & Martha's first son William was baptised on 26 Feb 1809 the mother's name was given as 'Ann'. Could this be a clue or a red herring?

As usual, all comments very welcome and any help most appreciated.
