Phoebe Marfell (General)

Hi Jeff and Mike

I have Phoebe with John Prosser on the 1841 census and 1851 census living in Monmouthshire. I plumped for FoD because I'm a member of Mongenes and when I do a search I often search on both sites as they are in close proximity. FoD seems to have alot of Marfells on its books so to speak. I believe it to be Phoebe Marfell as that surname is the one on the GRO index attached to George born abt. 1840 - he's the only one that fits.

I saw the listing for Phoebe's father being a Joseph and the mother being Mary Parker on the Latter Day Saints site - like you, I'm sceptical.

Funnily enough, there is an Elizabeth Marfell living next door to a William Prosser and his wife Lydia in Minersville, Schuylkilll County, Pennsylvania in 1880 - which I think belong to the same family (John Prosser and Phoebe's youngest daughter called Lydia)

Ofcourse I may be barking up the wrong tree. Seems strange that I can't seem to find a marriage or a birth for Phoebe.

Many thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Jane
