I am not sure what prompted this posting but with a Marfell involvement, I have as you will guess some information here.

But firstly as ever with one of your postings I have gained something from your information. I didn't previously know that the wife of Walter Samuel Drinkwater was Ada Gibbs and as an added bonus she is already in my family tree as her sister Elizabeth Mary Gibbs married my 6th cousin once removed William Stanley Dubberley.

Although I have the gravestone image for Betty Megan Drinkwater including date of death, I didn't previously know the date of burial.

I have her marriage certificate - 31st March 1945 to my 3rd cousin once removed George Maynard Marfell 1925. They had 7 children and I have marriage and offspring details for each.

George Maynard Marfell was the son of Horlick Maynard Marfell 15 Oct 1894/20 Dec 1969 & Rose Harris 1895/13 Oct 1953. I have their marriage certificate - 26 Nov 1921 Forest Church, and their gravestone image - but not date of burial........

Horlick Maynard Marfell was one of the 12 children of Oliver Marfell 1863/6 Dec 1951 & Sarah Ann Smart 1868/1 Dec 1940, Sarah Ann Smart's mother was Sarah Ann Marfell 1835.

I have a number of contacts who are descendants of the above who will also be observing thi posting with interest.
