That's very interesting Sonia, thankyou.

I'm not quite sure how John Herbert fits in with my line, though as Hatherop is such a small village he must be related somehow.

The record you mention appears to be a will, in which case perhaps this John is the father of William Herbert in my tree. The name spelling is Harbert, but I'm sure it must be the same family.
