About five years after this marriage, Herbert's son by his prior marriage, also named Herbert Pelham (b 1582) married Elizabeth West's sister Penelope.  This Herbert had a brother John who according to some sources, was his elder brother, but the evidence is conflicting.  This John Pelham who was a Gent, of the Middle Temple, married Catherine Yardley, their license is dated 28 Jan 1608/9 on which Catherine is called "age 18".  They had two children at Hellingly who may not have survived as John is said to have died s.p.m.

The baptismal locations of their children show that the family lived from 1607 to 1610 at Hellingly, Sussex but then moved to Saint Clements in Hastings where they stayed until 1620 or 1621.  They last moved to Boston, Lincolnshire where Herbert was buried Jul 20, 1624 in John Cotton's Church.

A genealogy roll drawn up in 1693 states that they had 16 children alltogether, but does not name them all.  Using what information it does provide I've compiled the below tentative list.

#Edward Pelham, called "fifth son", which is unlikely if all the above is true, and so may mean "fifth *surviving* son" and so he would go about here.
