I cannot help you regarding a Jane Herbert, I have no Jane of that age in my family tree, but the Herbert family is not my specialty. Although I have 125 Herbert's in family tree, these are only the Herbert's that marry into other families, plus their siblings and parents.

I have 2 Herbert families in my family tree around that time, the children of William Herbert & Hannah Yemm; William 1782, Hannah 1785 & John 1788. Hannah nee Yemm died in 1789 and William remarried in 1802 having 6 more children but of course beyond the date you are researching.

The other family is John Herbert 1745 married Nancy Morgan 1745 at Oxenhall 1776 - he was a widower at marriage. He and Nancy had 9 children including an Ann 1796 but she married John Parsons 1797 in 1816 :

1841 Ruardean Hill / Nailbridge
John Parsons abt 1797 Dean Forest
Ann Parsons abt 1797 Dean Forest
Isaac Parsons abt 1830 Dean Forest
Thos Parsons abt 1824 Dean Forest

1851 Ruardean Hill Census East Dean
John Parsons abt 1797 East Dean
Ann Parsons abt 1796 East Dean Wife
Isaac Parsons abt 1830 East Dean Son
Elizabeth Parsons abt 1830 East Dean Daughter-in-law

John Herbert & Nancy Morgan did have a Henry born 1779, who may have been your witness, but I am sure there were lots of Henry's.

One Herbert still eludes me - Rosanna Herbert 1789, the first wife of my Great Great Great Grandfather Cornelius Marfell, they married 1811. Upon Rosanna's death in 1817 he remarried to Tamar Herbert 1792, daughter of John Herbert & Nancy Morgan.

John Herbert & Nancy Morgan's daughter Hannah 1779 married my Great Great Great Great Uncle Jonathon Marfell 1764, brother of Cornelius Marfell who married Tamar & Rosanna Herbert.
