Hi Jean
As the Marfell family is my main interest, I can tell you a little about Reuben: he was born 28.4.1851 Ruardean, one of the 9 children of Levi Marfell & Lydia Marfell nee Marfell. I don't believe he had any connection with the family he was with in 1891, other than lodging, he was after all lodging with another Yorkshire family in 1881. He had registered as a Forest of Dean Free Miner 18.4.1875, but nevertheless decided to try his luck in Yorkshire. He returned to the Forest and died 10.8.1902 in Ruardean, buried 13.8.1902 Drybrook, I have his birth & death certificates, he never married. Lydia Marfell's parents were one of my 3 times great grandparents, Thomas Marfell & Elizabeth Herbert, Elizabeth's parents being William Herbert & Martha Woore, this being William's second marriage, his first to Hannah Yemm. Lydia Marfell was Levi Marfell's second wife,(I have the marriage certificates to both wives) his first Lydia Bennett baptised 11.5.1823, died 21.9.1843 Ruardean,buried 26.9.1843, I have her death certificate too. Levi Marfell & Lydia Bennett had one child before she died, probably the cause of her death, although the certificate just shows "Decline", their son George born 1.7.1843 married Harriett Wrigglesworth in Worksop and died there.

Not sure I can help you much, but the Samuel DOBBINS that you refer to in the 1891 Census of Castleford, was my Great Uncle. He was the son of Richard DOBBINS and Elisabeth COOPER, and was born about 1843 at Cinderford. About 1880 he went with his younger brother Aaron (my Gr Grandfather 1854-1926) to Darfield WRY where he worked at the Houghton Main Colliery.I suspect that Samuel moved around in the coal mining industry, and I have no other details on him other than in 1901 he is back in Darfield aged 57, and living with his brother Aaron and family.

Kind Regards

Graham
