Hi Carolyn

Yes I am connected to the Marfell family, my grandmother was Jane Kate Marfell, born Drybrook 27.7.1888 Drybrook - picture on the web site. With regard to Rhoda and John Hubert Marfell, I have the marriage certificates to both his wives, and can send you the Rhoda marriage certificate if you email me via the link here. The interesting thing is that one of the witnesses to his marriage to Rhoda Aston was Clara Yemm who became his second wife. Clara Yemm being the daughter of William Yemm and Lydia Marfell. Clara Yemm's first marriage was to Edward Dutton in 1885. If you want to be really morbid, I can also email you the gravestone images for Rhoda & Clara. The inscription for Rhoda reads "In fragrant memory of Rhoda wife of John Hubert MARFELL, died May23 1908, also of the above named who died Feb 28 1937 and of Nellie MARFELL, died July 2 1978 aged 80 years."
