Hi Lindsay

Wrong Rhoda Aston I'm afraid, but as usual Slowhands has sorted that for you in your other posting Nathaniel Hawkins/Rhoda Aston. You will see the date of birth for the Rhoda Aston who married Nathaniel Hawkins is quite different from those quoted in my posting.

An interesting factor of anyone following "my" Rhoda Aston born 5 Nov 1865;
I have marriage certificates for both John Hubert Marfell's marriages. On his first marriage to Rhoda Aston 24 May 1885, the witnesses were Edward Dutton & Clara Yemm a couple who then married 21 Sep 1885. Nothing unusual there, except that when Edward Dutton died 5 Nov 1905 and Rhoda Marfell nee Aston died 23 May 1908, Clara Dutton nee Yemm then married John Hubert Marfell on 2 Feb 1911, whose 1st marriage she had witnessed in 1885.

As I stated in my posting "My" Rhoda Aston was the daughter of James Aston born 20 Oct 1825 & Jane Smith baptised 24 April 1825 and for anyone following that family, here are the census details :
