Hello Dudleylad - and welcome to Rootschat 
There are plenty of people on here ready and willing to help you, but we do need a hint or two to begin with - some names, and a couple of dates for starters ?

Ill start with the Marshalls
My Grandfather was Ernest Henry Marshall born October 1918, his father was also Ernest Henry Marshall born 1891 and he married an Ellen Willetts also born 1891
Ernests Father is the one who supposedly died in the Boer War

He appears on the 1901 census as Ernest Jessop and his mother is Lucy Jessop, I cannot find a Lucy Marshall who is married in 1901 even though there is evidence of a sister born 1883 called Jane

It seems as though Ernest was illegitimate and his mother was Lucy Marshall
Im confused on the Jessop link and may well have to make a few enquiries, im now beginning to think perhaps the Jessop died in the Boar War as Lucy is on the 1901 Census as a Jessop but theres no husband
Could she have just put the Jessop surname on the census as a mark of respect for a man she was living with and planned to marry?

. If his father died in the Boer war it was the second one from 1899 - 1902
