ArgyllGran

I know all about "Drifting away a bit from the original question..." but that's what I enjoy about this hobby/life/addiction! It is so easy to get completely sidetracked - indeed, I haven't a clue now why I go onto the Marshalls originally. But I have confirmed that the Dr Charles Hingston who I mentioned in my post of 18 Feb 2019 15:38 is the same as the one already in my tree and I had come across him by following wy wife's aunt's Fox line (the Hingstons and Foxs were all Quakers).

You and the others have found a wonderful trove of information there. I'm afraid that I didn't get around to looking through the first batches of info yesterday evening as we were invited out to take part in the monthly village quiz. (Our team won last time but we only came 3rd yesterday.) And this morning my neighbour came around to ask advice about how to get started on her family tree!

Anyway, this evening... I'll try to get all those lovely facts into my tree.

Thanks sooo much,

Simon :-)

Another child of Charles and Fanny:

Sir Allen's obituary here - very interesting:

It includes:

"The son of a Falmouth lawyer,
he was born in the Orkney Islands in 1828.
His father, Mr. Charles Sarle, was at
one time stipendiary magistrate of
Dominica, West Indies."

Fanny in 1841 - mother born England:

Fanny Sarle

Name: Fanny Sarle
Age: 10
Estimated birth year: abt 1831
Gender: Female
Where born: Scotland

Charles Sarle 15
Fanny Sarle 10
Mrs. Margt Campbell 70
Margt Reid 25
Mary Milne 30



Just as a wild guess, bearing in mind the Marshall family's Cornish links, there was a Fanny Marshall born in Truro:


Fanny Marshall
England, Cornwall Parish Registers
Name Fanny Marshall
Event Type Baptism
Event Date 12 Feb 1790
Event Place Truro St Mary, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom
Gender Female
Father's Name Digory King Marshall
Father's Residence Place Truro
Mother's Name Phebe Marshall

Hence John's daughter Phoebe's name ??

So maybe John's birth ?? (with a different mother ??)

John Marshall
England Births and Christenings
Name John Marshall
Gender Male
Christening Date 28 Jan 1781
Christening Date (Original) 28 JAN 1781
Christening Place STRATTON,CORNWALL,ENGLAND
Father's Name Digory Marshall
Mother's Name Elis


EDIT:
Well, it was a nice theory re John, but NO.

I think they're two different families, one in Truro, one in Stratton.
Both have other children born in those places..

And that John 1781 must have died in infancy, as Digory and Elizabeth had another son John in Stratton in 1788.

EDIT AGAIN:

Ah, but see 19 Feb @ 09:54. Theory correct after all.

A tree on Ancestry (owner : Richard Marshall) says that Phoebe was born c1810 in Bengal - but that seems to be a best guess.

The tree says she had another sister, Emma Marie, born 1 May 1816 • Dinapore, Bengal, India.
Emma's marriage:
26 Mar 1834 • Dinapore, Bengal, India, to Ambrose Cardew (1806–1837).
They had several children, born in India.
In 1851 they were living in Falmouth, Cornwall, and in 1871 in Morwenstow, Cornwall. 1881 & 1891 - in Falmouth.
Emma's death: 7 Feb 1901 • St Kew, Cornwall, England


Their mother:

Elizabeth Mary Law, born c1781, no place of birth given. Parents unknown.
No proof given that she's John's wife.

The tree says Dr John died 15 May 1850 in Falmouth, and says this is his death record:

John Marshall
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1837-1915
Name: John Marshall
Registration Year: 1850
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district: Falmouth

Re date of death, however, there's this:

Name: John Marshall
