Following a lead given by Slowhands re: Emily Herbert. According to the 1881 cenus for Batley Yorkshire, Emily was born abt 1859 in East Dean. Her father was William Waite born abt 1834 Down Hatherley Gloucestershire (age on 1881 census 47). Her mother was Eliza Waite age 59 (no maiden name available but born abt 1835 Newham Gloucestershire.)
I now know that Emily's husband Arthur died in 1900 in Dewsbury Yorkshire but I am still trying to find what happened to Emily. I cannot find her on the 1901 cenus and would have thought that as her husband died only a year previously, she would not have married again, but one never knows. The reference provided by Slowhands is the nearest I have found, the only problem is that the birth year and place of birth are different.
I decided to look on the 1901 Census for her father to see if she was living with him. She was not found with him but some interesting results appeared.

We have in our tree some inter-marriages with the Marfell family but not much information on this branch. I wonder if Reuben Marfell was related somehow to the Waite family? Jean Herbert
