Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: Death of Thomas MARSHMAN, Wells, Somerset
« on: Wednesday 20 August 08 00:06 BST (UK) »
Dear Wendy,
I have just discovered Thomas Marshman was my GGGgrandfather, and also discovered he ended up in Broadmoor Lunatic Asylum ( worrying and both curious) his father was John Marshman and his mother was Caroline. I think his grandfather was Joseph (from Potterne, Devises, Wiltshire) and his grandmother Hannah since on the 1851 census the house next door is occupied by these people.
Thomas Marshman went to Broadmoor before 1871 and Sarah Woolley his wife is untraceable in 1871 with their youngest child, Elizabeth classed as an orphan living somewhere else. What was Thomas sent to Broadmoor for, muder of Sarah? They appear to be a family of coal merchants. My line stems from his daughter Mary Jane, born abt 1858 who appears to have eloped at 16 with Thomas Payne to Derbyshire where they where married.
I'd welcome sharing infiormation further.
cheers, shaun
