They had at least 1 son... ARCHIBALD MARSHAL Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: 26 OCT 1785 Low Church, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland Death: Burial: Parents: Father: RICHARD MARSHAL Mother: JANET BALFOUR Georgina.

Her name was Martha - she married James Brown in about 1816 (I think I've found the marriage & them on 1841/1851) Spotted that family - but able to prove a link yet

Louise what was the daughters name? There is this family on the 1841 scottish census... Agness Adam abt 1826 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Alexr Marshall abt 1826 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Janet Marshall abt 1796 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Lillias Marshall abt 1829 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Margt Marshall abt 1829 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Richard Marshall abt 1796 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Richard Marshall abt 1826 Renfrewshire, Scotland Paisley Low Renfrewshire Georgina.

thanks for that

Louise if this is their marriage I think there is a good chance she has already died because by 1857 she would be around 90/100 years old? RICHARD MARSHALL Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: JANET BALFOUR Marriage: 13 FEB 1785 Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland Georgina.

The daughter died in 1857 & it was the son-in-law who registered the death

Louise I have learned from experience never assume anything in genealogy. I think scottish records are pretty accurate but they can only enter information they are supplied with. What date is your death? Georgina.

I have A death record which lists the parents. It says Richard Marshall, Weaver (Deceased) & Janet Marshall, Maiden name Balfour... From this can I assume the mother is still alive?
