I only have those 3. You may have picked up that William died in 1789, buried 25th November.

Although Hannah Yemm is not related to me, her children with William are. Hannah Herbert 1785 being a half great great great great Aunt. Do you know what happened to her ?

In your posting you state - I believe John Herbert 1788 to be my husbands 3 x great grandfather. I do have a lot of information on the 11 children of John Herbert & Sarah Mason, some for 8 generations. If you contact me by email using the envelope icon above, I may be able to help you further.

Whilst having a quick glance at those descendants, I noted something that would be of interest, but you may already know; John Herbert & Sarah Mason's daughter Mary 1809 married James Brain 1807 in Abenhall 30 Apr 1831, they had 9 children including Enos Brain 1838. His picture is to be found on this web site. I have pages and pages of newspaper reports regarding his murder in America.

Enos Brain 1838 married Emma Fields 1842 and they had 12 children including Albert 1860. See his story on this web site :

Whilst I was looking for that article I came across another article you will find interesting as it takes you back a few more generations. An item I need to study in depth :

It is written by a person I have corresponded with whose research I regard as "tablets of stone" - James Phillips-Evans.
