Hi Jean

My main intertest is the Marfell Family, but follow the siblings and parents of spouses and whilst these people are "connected" rather than "related" I find that such is the inter marrying in the Forest this often leads to others that I have in my Family Tree.

George Dobbs 1866 son of George Dobbs 1841 & Lavinia Herbert 1842 had 4 siblings, one of whom Frank Albert Dobbs 1884 married Amy Elizabeth Marfell baptised Ruardean 21.12.1879. I have the marriage certificate, if you would like a copy by email. Amy Elizabeth Marfell's great grandparents were Cornelius Marfell 1779 & Rosanna Herbert 1789. They married 24.7.1811 and on Rosanna Herbert's death in October 1817, Cornelius Marfell then married Tamar Herbert 1792 at Newland 20.6.1818. Whilst I have details of Tamar Herbert's parents and 6 siblings, I have nothing on Rosanna and have often wondered if there was a connection between Rosanna & Tamar Herbert. If you have any knowledge of this I would be extremely grateful.
