Hi everyone, I'm new to this list, having just found that a branch of my MARSHALSEA family migrated to the USA and lived in Boston. Theophilus Charles MARSHALSEA was born in 1886 in Somerset, England. He married Sarah, born about 1891 in Canada. Theophilus shows up in the 1901 England Census, but was living in Boston, Massuchusetts, by the time WW1 broke out. On his draft registration card he said he was a naturalised citizen. The family was still in Boston in 1920 and 1930 - Theo and Sarah's children (as far as I know) were Mary Ellen, Dorothy, Jean, Robert, Charles and Frederick. Charles was in the Navy and Frederick in the Marines, and both are buried at Massachusetts National Cemetery. They died within a week of each other in December 2002. Has anyone seen any references at all to MARSHALSEA in Boston? Theo appears in one directory that I've found from 1925 - he was a painter of 57 Hyde Park Ave, JP (another question: what does the JP mean? I've seen it in another address as well). I'm in Australia and don't have access to local libraries or archives. I have some details from USA censuses looked up in our State Library here in Melbourne, but wondered if there were any descendants out there, or someone who knew the family. Theophilus and my husband's family both descend from Matthew MARSHALSEA (1810-1879) and Matilda COOKE (1815-1889). Thanks, Loretta Melbourne, Aus.

There were two Marshalseas living in Brockton, MA. I know of them because they were married to girls I knew from Cambridge. The men were brothers but that is all I know of them . The wives names were Eleanor and Alice. JP usually means Jamaica Plain , an area of Boston.
