Title: Searching for immigration records - Henry Charles Marshall from Berkshire Eng.
Post by: janjim on Wednesday 09 January 19 03:08 GMT (UK)
Hi I wonder if anyone can assist me please.    We have Henry Charles Marshall b. 1855 Donnington, Berkshire, England who was living with his family up until 1881 census.   
After that we have found him (if we have the right person) in 1888 married at Bathurst to Elizabeth Anne Smith who came from Gulgong, NSW.   They had a number of children born from 1890 through to 1906, who were born all over NSW.

At this stage, I have not found any migration records.  If anyone can assist me please, would really appreciate that.   Henry Marshall was son of David Marshall and Sarah (nee Rufey)

We need to confirm that we have the right person, before we go any further with our research, and also DNA matches.

Regards
Jan

You are researching the fate, 1881+, of Henry Charles MARSHALL, b. Berkshire, parents  David Marshall and Sarah (nee Rufey).

And considering the possibility that this Henry C MARSHALL, might be the same man?

NSW BDM

What parents do you see on the marriage certificate?

We do not have marriage certificate.   We do suspect, due to DNA matching, that we have the right man, and also due to the fact that the family lived at Bankstown, where other members of our family lived.

Hi Wivenhoe,
Yes, you are correct, have all that information, parents names of Henry Charles Marshall correct too, but as I said previously, I do not have a marriage certificate.

May I assure you that MARSHALL... as a surname ... is found in Central Western NSW,  including Bathurst from mid 1820s  I suggest that the m.c. mentioned by Wivenhoe is an important step in your research ....

Official transcription will have all the details including if it is fully reconciled by NSW bdm.

Thank you Jamjar, yes I agree with all that information too.   In 1881 census, his family were still living at Donnington, Berkshire, England.

Yes, by putting up all the available information, it may just attract the attention of someone connected to the family who may be able to tell you the origins of this particular Henry Charles.

Yes, Young as it the NSW town, just as Burwood is not her surname, but a suburb of Sydney.

In the township of Bathurst NSW in the 1870s and 1880s .... two families with surname MARSHALL, in the district of Bathurst,  four separate families with that surname...  :)  ... and then there's the SMITH families at Gulgong

Hi, thank you again, yes his parents David & Sarah both died in Berkshire England, 1883 and 1888. Henry Charles Marshall was the only one living with them in 1881 census, have not been able to find him in 1891 census.
I know the areas you mention in western NSW quite well, understand, thank you.

You mention that I have my posting in the wrong section, can you tell me where I have gone wrong please.   All I am looking for is immigration records now, to link him up in Australia.

Yes I know I need marriage certificate, may have to look at that still.

You have it in ‘Resources and Offers’.

It would be best here: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/australia/

If you tell the moderator that you want it on the Oz ‘main board’, they will know where to move it to.

I live not far from Young and spent many years Burwood/Bankstown areas.

I wondered if any siblings came with him.

NSW ARCHIVES, online indexes searching for MARSHALL as keyword.

Kelso, (so Bathurst !)
William MARSHALL, a Carpenter was sequested 20 Feb 1867

Ilford (so on the road from Bathurst to Gulgong)
Samuel MARSHALL, a Carpenter was sequested 14 August 1875

Bathurst (in the township itself)
Isaac MARSHALL deceased estate ... died 25 Aug 1882 ... JM notes ... my offline records show me that I had transcribed some info about him for a family history group in the 1970s and that he was an innkeeper in Howick St Bathurst for much of the 1870s

Just a few samples  :) using online indexes searching at https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/ ...

Jamjar, interesting Young, we lived there for 10 years, and my Grandparents and Mother lived at Bankstown.   I will continue my search with the rest of his siblings.  Thank you all.  In fact I thought I had put it on forum, sorry about that.

I did their ‘key name search’ ealier and nothing for him.

Also, on NSWBDM I see no other Marshall deaths, with parents as David and Sarah, from 1881 to 1960.

Yes, appreciate that JJ, but the chap who married in 1888, he would have given first hand info about his origins, and his parents when marrying.   The info on the d.c. as per the index cannot possibly be first hand info... 

How does anyone know the names of the parents of the bridegroom on that marriage registered Bathurst .... Jan needs to know that before she can go further in her researching and DNA matches ...  :)

Hi I wonder if anyone can assist me please.    We have Henry Charles Marshall b. 1855 Donnington, Berkshire, England who was living with his family up until 1881 census.

Couple of items we have found, a Henry Marshall shown in Entrance Book to Gaol (Darlinghurst) of August 1898, age coincides with our Henry Charles Marshall b. 1854/55.   He is shown with Alias of Henry Johnson and Henry Williams, having travelled from England on the Orient in 1890.   Wonder there could be a mistake on the date noted in the book.

Also have found a charge in 1918 against George Chillenborough, alias Gerris Chilimcaris or Chilimbaris, as having abducted the daughter of Henry Charles Marshall, namely Florence Leah Marshall aged 18 years.  This person was arrested and charged with carnally knowing her.  However, records indicate that Florence Leah Marshall married Gerris a few months later, but Florence died a few years later.

This is about all the information found, and nothing shown back in England.

Thank you all for your input with the research on Henry Charles Marshall.   We have finally found where he migrated to Townsville Queensland in 1883 on board the ship "Hereford".   He went there for work, and as not much available, he made his way to Bathurst where he obtained employment working for NSW State Railways.
Also found Henry Charles Marshall's family in Victoria, his older daughter born in Newbury England, married a Thatcher, and they migrated to Australia where they settled at St. Kilda, Victoria and died around 1938.
Thanking you all.
