Having followed this complicated tale, I was wondering why I had Samuel Colwell & Esther Brain in my Family Tree and of course in my case it leads to the Marfell family.

Samuel Colwell & Esther Brain had a daughter Harriett 1855 - who you will note was a witness at the marriage between Charles Richards & Jane Davis. Harriett Colwell 1855 married Frederick Charles Jefferies 1856 son of William Jefferies 1812 & Elizabeth. They also had a daughter Edith Jefferies 1842 who married twice, the first Henry Eaton, the second John Morton Marfell 1828, this was a 3rd marriage for him, the others Emma Green & Elizabeth Anne Wilce. I have the certificates for all 3 marriages.

The thread that has evolved is very complex, but do I gather Esther Brain also married Edwin Howell who died in 1841 and who was the Baker she married noting that she was shown as Widow surname Baker at her marriage to Charles Richards - did she have time to marry someone else ?
