In those days "in law" was used for a step relative as much as for a relative by marriage

Hi
Robert Marquand was born in Mere, Wiltshire or Dorset about 1810.  He died in St Peter Port on 8 January 1860.
His son Charles came to Australia with his step brother Henry Adams.  Charles married Elizabeth Reilly  and had 11 children including my great grandfather Charles MacGregor Marquand.  I think Charles and Mary Marquand are another family

Regards
