I think we need to know how the poster got back to George Herbert.

Can you tell us some details about his children please?

What are the father's names and occupations on the marriage cert?

Whoops! Just noticed that the George who married Alice was Henry not Herbert, so the one married to Elizabeth looks like the right one.

We need feedback - with facts.....at the moment it's all guesswork
