Hi Jane,
please can you give us more information, ideally the whole 1841 Census household you have, or at least a more-specific location ? I ask as I've tried to find your household on FamilySearch and have found a few possibles, the most likely being in Upper Llanover, Blaenavon, so a fair distance (20miles?) west of Monmouth, on the western edge of the Forest. As you say, the Marfell and Prosser names are not unusual in the area so as much info as possible will best help us to try and help you.
Do you have any poarticular reason for thinking Phoebe is a Forester ?
I have searched this forum for related old threads but so far have found nothing, nor the marriage record.

In theory, anyone born in the Forest of Dean "should" be shown in the records as born in "Gloucestershire", altho to be fair this has often been something of a grey area especially considering the western Forest which was governed from Monmouth town.

Thanks, J.
