Elizabeth Marfell (Enoch’s wife) is my recently discovered, great, great grandmother who died on 30 Oct 1872 aged 37 years (not 38!), which is confirmed by the PR for her burial and a letter I have.

The letter was written in 1942 from Hain Villa, Ruardean Woodside by her daughter, Elizabeth Amelia MARFELL, to my great aunt where she mentions several other members of her family. The main topic was about age and the letter ends listing birth dates ‘from father’s book’. Sadly the final sentence reads ‘ Mother died in 1872, the last baby went with her’.

So Jim, if you can send me any photos and information about this Marfell family I would really appreciate it. For example, do you know if Enoch and Benjamin were twins or just brothers both baptised on 3 Sep 1837? Does Hain Villa still exist? Also is The Farm, Ruardean an area of land or an actual dwelling?

I realise this post originated several years ago and I hope it’s not too late but I have only just been able to establish exactly who my great grandmother really was and it has been wonderful to find this site with so much good information on it. I have found the advanced search tips have been very useful too. Many thanks to you all.
