On the Forest of Dean records (you can search for witness) - but there is a family link with this marriage (as Thomas HEBERT, and Elizabeth WILTON, who later married, are both witnesses at this wedding..... by Licence, haven't checked this yet as this could be on the FOD records)...

12 November 1843

Cornelius HERBERT - Brewer, Redbrook, father Thomas HEBERT, farmer
Jane WILTON - father: William WILTON, Tin Plate Roller,
by Licence.

witnesses: Thomas HERBERT and Elizabeth WILTON

I wonder if you could clarify what "Tin Man" means exactly - I know they all work in the tin or metals factories, but is it a specific task?

Tin man -

A dictionary of old trades, titles and occupations :

Tin man = tinner = a tin miner, worker or whitesmith. 

There is an illustration in the dictionary with the following "A tinner at work, mending a pan for a visiting housewife.  A tinner was sometimes known as a tin man.  As well as working with tin, he also used other light metals in his work of manufacturing and mending such items as tin baths, pans, bowls, toilet pans, etc.  If in his work he also enamelled the tin objects, he would be known as a whitesmith."



Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.
Archbell - anywhere, any date
Kendall - WRY
Milner - WRY
Appleyard - WRY
