Dear listers, Here's hoping someone out there just may have a link to my MARSHALLs who came out to South Africa in 1820 from England. Here is the little I know: Henry William MARSHALL, b abt 1791 married Mary HEATRELL on 14 Nov 1815 at St Anne's, Limehouse, London (East). Child Edward Henry was born 14 Sep 1816, bap 3 Nov 1816, St Anne's. Child Mary Ann born about 1819. They came out to South Africa on the Northampton in 1820, had child James Northampton (from whom I am descended) on board - and that is just about all I know. I have traced a pretty large family tree for them in South Africa, but know nothing about their English roots. Henry was a jeweller/silversmith and my dad is convinced he came from Kent, but this is not proven. I do know that many of the SA Marshalls married into the GIBBENS family from Thanet/St Lawrence, Kent, so it is possible that they knew each other before coming out. Witnesses on their marriage certificate are Harriet HEATRELL and Mary Ann MARSHALL and what looks like Leachanigs KING. Certainly the first two must be related, but whether they are siblings or parents I don't know. In the same register there was a William MARSHALL, bap 19 Oct 1815, son of Robert and Sarah MARSHALL - possibly a relative, but there's no way of telling with such a common name. On the same ship as Henry was a John MARSHALL, gardener, but I have not been able to establish whether he was related. I know this is not much to go on, but any info at all would be hugely appreciated! Sincerely Sharon Marshall

Hello, I am new to the list and am wondering if anyone knows of my Marshall family. Eugene Marshall was born In Nova Scotia about 1849. I do not know his exact place of birth, his parents or the date of immigration. He resided in Woburn Massachusetts with his wife Annie Humphrey and they are seen there on the 1880 census with their two children, Hiram A born 1879 and Lydia born 1880. Eugene was a carpenter. Annie was born in Massachusetts about 1857.  Lydia Marshall married Amos Marryott (Marryott Marriott) who was born in Nova Scotia about 1872. We believe they married in or around Woburn about 1897. Their children were Fred Eugene born in Boston Massachusetts 20 Feb 1898, Annie G born in Clinton Massachusetts 26 Aug 1899 and Mabel Esther born in Clinton Massachusetts 18 Aug 1902 Amos and Lydia were divorced but we do not know if that divorce was before or after he moved to Jacksonville Floirda. Eugene and Annie (Humphrey) Marryott were my husbands gr gr gp's. Thanks for any help that you can offer ! Carolyn

Hi Mary -- You're going to have to forgive me as things have been rather topsy turvy around here of late, but for the life of me I can't tie in the message below to anything before! Have we written?

Lori Buckley; Hi there, I understand you are looking for some one that was born in Quebec, Canada. I have some great news for you. Doing research in Quebec is so easy, I manager to trace, find and prove 23 generations in one day! Yes one day and I am not exaggerating either. Quebeckers are incredible note and records takers and keepers. Women did not take their husbands names when they married, and they still don't today in Quebec. If you know that date and place your Marshall was born then you can do a look up in the Dictionnaire National Des Canadiens - Francais. As well, I suggest joining the Quebec Research list at Rootsweb.com. There are some amazing people on the list that will really be able to dig up a lot on you Quebec Marshall. Everyone speaks English so don't worry about having to know French. FYI, less then 40%of the province of Quebec actually speak French, so if you needed to talk to someone at the provincial archives you will get someone who speaks English.

Hi! I've been researching the family of Joseph MARSHALL, who with his wife and 7 children immigrated from Glenkeen, Co. Tyrone, Ireland to Savannah, George in 1769. The family settled in Queensborough, and by the end of the Revolutionary War, most of the family had been killed either by Indians or some such. My ancestor, their son Joseph, was a Loyalist who, after living in St. Augustine, Florida, wound up in Nova Scotia where he eventually settled in Guysborough. He married and had 4 sons, Joseph Henry, Matthew, John George and James Hagan. Joseph Henry married Ann RICHARDSON and had 4 children, John Joseph, James Henry, Margaret and Catherine Rebecca. I descend from John Joseph. I've been researching the family for many years and have a great deal of information and photos, which I'd be happy to share with anyone who is also researching any part of this large family.

The "Eighth grade test" is real and is in a library in Kansas but it was not an eighth grade test. It was a test for teacher qualification.Still pretty stiff test. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 9:14 AM Subject: MARSHALL-D Digest V04 #9

Dear all, I am new to the list so I would like to say hello. My mother was a Marshall but I have had difficulty tracing this line back. James Marshall and Margaret were the parents of John Marshall born about 1845 in Coldwell, Northumberland, England I can't find John's birth records nor can I find his parents or any siblings. John married Margaret PEARSON (of Felling, Durham) in Kyo, Durham and they eventually drifted to Felling where most of their descendants still live. Any further information would be gladly received. As for the exam questions. They aren't hard if you know the answers and that is the sort of stuff that was taught in those days. So it doesn't mean we are less well educated. So don't worry about it. For example when I was at school we had to learn the names of authors of all the 'good' books. I still know the titles and authors but I've never read the books (with a few exceptions of course). My children have never heard of the most of the books or the authors. Does that make them less educated? I think not. All the best Chris Arnold (A Geordie, Kiwi at present in Oman) Personal replies to [email protected] please. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gene marshall" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 5:19 AM Subject: Re: [MARSHALL] 8th GRADE TEST IN 1895 ..... > I wish I had them!!!!
