Richard Marsh is listed as an 8-year-old in Gordon Beavington's transcription of the 1851 Glastonbury census. He was in the household of his parents Edward, 46, a sawyer and Charlotte, 35.(To recap, from FreeReg Richard Chamberlain Marsh, son of Edward and Charlotte, was baptized on 17th September 1843 at St. John the Baptist, Glastonbury.) The marriage of bachelor, Edward Marsh, a sawyer, and spinster, Charlotte Chamberlain, can be found on FreeReg. www.freereg.org.uk They were married on 19th. July 1838 at St. John the Baptist, Glastonbury. Abode for both bride and groom was Hill Head. Edward's father was also called Edward and his occupation was a farmer, while Charlotte's father was Richard Chamberlain who was a sawyer. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
