You are right Kate Marfell born 25 Mar 1876 daughter of Benjamin Marfell & Elizabeth Mason did indeed marry Samuel Mitchell born 1874 Bailieborough Co. Cavan, Ireland, in St Peters Ch. Liverpool in 1895. Kate was the sister of Sophia Dora Marfell one of her 11 siblings.

I have posted a picture of Benjamin Marfell & Elizabeth Mason, looking very upright citizens. They married 11 April 1858 in Christchurch, West Dean, not a short walk from Ruardean considering Elizabeth was 8 months pregnant with Sophia Dora Marfell. The church was obviously chosen because of this fact. Ironically a witness was Benjamin's sister Selina Marfell whose second marriage was to someone 37 years her junior, her first husband William Read was the other witness. Selina Read nee Marfell was only 3 months pregnant with her first child - Dora on 19 Mar 1859 at her first marriage.
