3 William Marshman B abt.1768 d 10 Aug 1817 Croscombe
4 James Marshman b abt 1770

                  Generation 2
Thomas Marshman born abt. 1774 in Potterne Wilts married Sarah Hanham 26 April 1798 in Croscombe, Somerset. She was born abt 1776 and died abt.1845 in Croscombe.
Children of Thomas and Sarah are

So the question is was John the son of Thomas or Joseph?
Trying to figure that out.    All the best Monica

Hi Monica, I am now looking into this as I have johns parents as Joseph and Hannah and someone else has Thomas and Ann.  I will have to go back through notes emails etc to find out where this info came from and what proof there is.  Many thanks for pointing it out

Hi Beverley and thanks for your info.  I haven't researched the Marshmans for a while so will need to look into it and see what I have.  Many thanks hopefully speak soon

Sorry to ressurect a very old thread but I think Thomas Marshman, b 1774, is my 4th Great Grandfather, via his daughter Louisa Marshman.
I'm looking for all the corroborating evidence I can find to prove/disprove this. If anyone can help I'd very much appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew.

HI Andrew I do have Thomas being the father of Louisa (if its the right one) She married Thomas Baker. I have Thomas's DOB as 20 Apr 1777. Does this sound like the right one?

Hi Wendy,
It sounds right but you know how variable some of this information is.
So far I only have Thomas Marshman b 1774/6 in Potterne, Wiltshire. I can't find any Baptism record to support it. 1841 and 1851 Censuses disagree. I've found a Jail record which sounds like him and his son. I can find two Marriage Records that could be him to two different Sarahs. I've found him in an 1832 Electoral Register. And I've found Burial details for 28 Mar 1851 in Croscombe and Axbridge.
And there seems to be several children.
Louisa did marry Thomas Baker, I'm happy up to there. :-)
There are also a couple of Tree's on Ancestry which don't agree too.
