Hi, From previous research this suggested Thomas Marshall of Newham I have found a marriage for a Thomas MARSHALL to a Dinah COOK in Newnham on Severn on the 25th August 1789. This marriage seems a little late on in life for the above Thomas, especially as Dinah COOKE was baptised in Newnham on Severn on the 26th February 1769, making her much younger than Thomas. I have found a baptism of a Thomas MARSHALL, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth in 1760 in the parish of Westbury on Severn, which is the next parish to Newnham. So I think that it is mare likely to be that Thomas that married Dinah in 1789.

This indicates it is not the Thomas who was living in Aston Ingham in 1764.

We strongly believe that he is son of a Thomas and Anne Marshall of Longhope, however the parish records 1738 to 1742 and BTs 1738-9 are missing. Open to suggestions, but fear we have no way moving back further from here.
