Marshall

Marshall family page

This family name made its first appearance in Jersey records at the end of the 18th century

Ernest William Marshall (1869-1917), the son of George Henry Marshall (1840-1919) and Amelia Jane, nee Wittet (1840-1880). Employed for some years by the Evening Post as a compositor, and afterwards in London, in October 1915 he, with his brother Ted, joined the Royal Army Service Corps at the age of 46, and served in Egypt and in the Balkans, where he was wounded. Later he was transferred to France and on 4 September 1917 he died of wounds received from a hostile aircraft. His death was reported in the Evening Post, which strangely did not mention that he was a widower, father of eight children, and had married for a second time the year before he signed up. He married Mary Ann Susan, nee Renouard (1869-1905) in Jersey in 1887, and they had eight children, five of whom were living at the time of his death. Mary Ann died in 1905, six months after the birth of their last child. Ernest married Emily Jane Richardson in London in 1914

Direct links to lists of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Marshall family can be found under Family Records opposite. If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Marshall, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the
family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter,
for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want
and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records

From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed. Our database now includes buttons enabling a search within registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These records will automatically appear within the results of any search made from this page.

Origins of surname

This name comes from the French mareschal', in turn from the Germanic marah = 'horse', scalc = 'servant'. He looked after horses, and later became the most important person in noble or royal households and ultimately held the highest office of state.

Early records

The first Marshall baptism in Jersey was recorded in 1769, but it was the early 1800s before Joseph and Elizabeth Hibberd established the first settled family in St Helier.

Tips

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.

We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records

Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
