Lincolnshire / Re: Strawson/Marshall marriage
« on: Tuesday 18 May 10 17:52 BST (UK)  »
I am currently researching my Marshall family history. Strawsons' were a big local farming family who actually own some of the land opposite my land and house.
I have managed to find a memorial stone in St Giles Church Scartho for William Marshall. This stone also lists other family members, amongst them it says "Daughter A. E. Strawson died 8th Dec 1924".
In my family tree it would appear that Ann Marshall 1841-1924 also married an A Strawson who was born around 1835.
I am still digging through a minefield of names, I hope this helps.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Andrew Marshall marriage look up please

I was looking up the same information. My GGG/F was Andrews Father. I have some details of earlier family links but patchy about this generation onwards. Did you know there were 5 Brothers and 5 Sisters in the family?
They are buried and commemorated in St Giles church Scartho under a large family monument.

Lincolnshire / Re: William Marshall & Sons (Grimsby)

Many thanks for the heads up. I have looked at all of the evening standard site, it is a bit confusing as the family appear to have gone under about 7 times over 20 years. It also transpires that there was another company trading as William Marshall & sons in Grimsby (either watchmakers or Saddlers).
It was information passed to me that the mill changed hands to Spillers following marriage? as yet only hearsay.

Lincolnshire / William Marshall & Sons (Grimsby)
« on: Sunday 24 January 10 02:27 GMT (UK)  »
I am currently researching the history of my family, my Great Grandfather a well known Mill owner, and his father and his father etc. amongst them a race horse owner and winner of the Derby, StLedger and Grand Prix de Paris, a member of the clergy, Timber merchant (Marshall,Knott& Barker) and a fisherman or ship owner. I have managed to get back to 1729 although a few results are patchy and one generation is missing around 1860.
I would appreciate any assistance in tracing all of my paternal ancestors. The Name William Marshall comes up repeatedly in each generation as ironically does the name Sarah as his spouse. This happens at least 3 times. Locations for the family are Grimsby, Scartho, Waddingham, Snitterby, Bishop Norton and Cockerington.
All of the remaining Mill assets were transferred to Spillers, possibly on marriage? We have no idea what happened to what must have been a considerable fortune amassed by the company of William Marshall & Sons and its subsidiaries. Anyone with any knowledge of what transpired would be very helpful in filling in a lot of gaps. For 50 years no-one even knew of our past or the links with the Towns largest buildings.

Lincolnshire / Re: Marshall & Sons Gainsborough

Does anyone know if William Marshall & Sons (Grimsby) are related to the Gainsborough Marshalls'. I have information that my g,g,g,Grandfather used to walk from Grimsby to Gainsborough, in the course of his business as a mill owner.
I have most of the tree from 1729 with just a few patches being sketchy.
