I am currently researching the history of my family, my Great Grandfather a well known Mill owner, and his father and his father etc. amongst them a race horse owner and winner of the Derby, StLedger and Grand Prix de Paris, a member of the clergy, Timber merchant (Marshall,Knott& Barker) and a fisherman or ship owner. I have managed to get back to 1729 although a few results are patchy and one generation is missing around 1860.
I would appreciate any assistance in tracing all of my paternal ancestors. The Name William Marshall comes up repeatedly in each generation as ironically does the name Sarah as his spouse. This happens at least 3 times. Locations for the family are Grimsby, Scartho, Waddingham, Snitterby, Bishop Norton and Cockerington.
All of the remaining Mill assets were transferred to Spillers, possibly on marriage? We have no idea what happened to what must have been a considerable fortune amassed by the company of William Marshall & Sons and its subsidiaries. Anyone with any knowledge of what transpired would be very helpful in filling in a lot of gaps. For 50 years no-one even knew of our past or the links with the Towns largest buildings.
