Hi Bev

Thank you very much for the information, I do have pictures of all the Marfells you have mentioned as the Marfell family are my main interest. Not wishing to be picky but in case anyone else uses the information you have kindly provided, Elizabeth Marfell died 30th October was actually aged 38 years and her spouse Enoch died in 1909. Digital cameras are great for noting the detail, rather than writing it down, then you can keep the picture on your hard drive anyway. I do wonder what other people in church yards make of this though !!

With regard to Cornelius Brain, I would very much appreciate a copy of this photo. I have two Cornelius Brains in my family tree born in 1848, but do not have a death date for either. One had a first wife Sarah Ann married 9.4.1870, then a second "wife" Maria with whom he had 5 children between 1879 & 1886, in the meantime first wife Sarah Ann nee Baldwin was back with parents Samuel Baldwin & Elizabeth on the 1881 Census shown as Sarah Brain married. The other Cornelius born 1848 was not so complex marrying a Rhoda Parsons 8.10.1870 having 9 children, one of whom married a Marfell. I have added all this info in the hope that slowhands will sort them out for me !!
