He died in September 1875 in Fulham & was married to Mary Moran.
Occupation was Labourer in 1871, He and Mary had the following children:

Do these names ring any bells or mean anything to anyone, Im really struggling !?

Pleasure Joanne...Glad I could help. :-)

Hi Vera
Dont mean to sound dim - But were Betsy & Will Marsden the parents of William aged 4 on the census ? Were all the others brothers & Sisters ?

Joanne.x :)

Hi Joanne,
Unfortunately on the 1841 census they do not give relationships......they do seem rather on the older side to have a four year old.

Just been on Familysearch (IGI)....in 1837 there is a christening for a William Marsden mother Betty( Betsy) father William Marsden Edgworth Lancashire.
You don't sound dim at all !!!


Regards Vera

Hi Joanne,

Found this christening on the IGI

If the marriage is right it matches Whitechapel.....What do you think..?


Regards Vera

Joanne,
If he was in the army....maybe that is why we cannot find him in 1851...

Regards Vera

Hello Vera
I think you are right - As usual....

Hannah Moran, I was under the impression it was Johannah Moran or am i mistaken?

Thanks again for your assistance, it means a lot.

Speak Later

Joanne.x

Joanne.
I checked on the 1881 census it states Hannah......

1891 Johanna......so take your pick.. :-)
