Dublin / Re: Marsden family Dublin
« on: Friday 13 January 12 17:04 GMT (UK) »HiHi my name is Kerry and I am decended from Michael Marsden who was Rosanna's brother, it seems that Rosanna came to England during the potato famine in Ireland, she shows up in vine court, Lancashire with her other Brother Benjamin (Michaels twin) in 1841, it seems that she married Thomas who has the same name as her father and must have been a cousin, he was also a coach trimmer. I am decended from Michaels son Fredrick, it would be nice to hear from you and I will share any information I find.....Kerry
I'm looking for: Starting with the father:
Edward Marsden abt 1791 - Wife unknown
Children: Michael & Benjamin abt 1819 twins - Rosanna abt 1820, Thomas abt 1821, Alexander abt 1822, Edward abt 1823,
All of the above males were Coach Trimmers, Coach Builders, Coach Painters etc.... They at some time or another left Dublin for Kent to work on the newly founded railways - New Town, Brighton.
Michael on the 1841 census was with Eliza Marsden of the same age 20yrs born Ireland, Eliza passed away by 1851 census leaving Michael and their or her child Ann.
Michael went on to marry Sarah Bartholomew in Willesborough Kent England, they were not the only Marsdens to settle from this family in Dublin to Kent. Some including Thomas marsden settled in Australia again working ON the railways...
Any help would be much appreciated.. - I have little info for Dublin except the following from 2 of the brothers (Sons of Edward & Unknown):
Benj Marsden
26 harrington street
St peters parish
South side
Edward Marsden
5 kevins st.lower
St peters parish
Many Thanks
Joanne Marsden (*)
