He was baptised 12 September 1773 at Chevington, a son of Richard Marshall and Susan formerly Arborn.

 

He (X) married Mary Moore (X), after banns, at Chevington 19 November 1801.  They were both single and of Chevington, and the witnesses were Richard Marshall (X) and John Evered. 

 

Mary Marshall was probably buried at Rede (not far from Chevington) 15 December 1804, the wife of William Marshall.

 

William (X) probably married again at Chevington after banns, as a widower, to spinster Susan Garwood (X), 5 July 1808.  They were both of the parish.  The witnesses were Jeremiah Mayhew and James Evered.

 

Susan the wife of William was buried at Rede 15 June 1812.  The three Marshall burials (Mary 1804, Susan 1812 and infant Mary) are the only ones at Rede and the two baptisms are the only Marshall ones at Rede 1800-1820.

 

William, a widower of Whepstead, may have married again at Brockley, to Mary More of Whepstead, 17 November 1814. (It is an odd coincidence that his 1st and 3rd wives should have the same name!)
