thanks, just got to try and find a marruage for him now and dig a bit into his family history, see if i find any clues.

hi again,

something tells me my john marshall could have been already married, as we all know they were pushed into a marriage if possible after the birth of an illegimate child.

lydia had at least 2 to john marshall, wey no marriage?

also found out her first child baptised john marshall waller, after getting married dropped the waller and went by the name john marshall himself. he left stibbard and was a farmer in little ryburgh, is this near stibbard. also noted there are a lot of marshalls in great ryburgh, is this also close to stibbard?

thanks again in advance for all your help

hi,

many thanks for all your advice.

lt seems though all records for stibbard haven't survived, so it looks as if my chances are running out. do the quarter session records remain for stibbard?

lydia's first child was baptised john waller in stibbard in 1798, although when he married in 1840, he used the name john marshall waller, he was an inkeeper and his abode was stibbard, do you think i will be able to find anything from this?

lydia's second child was baptised thomas winn waller in yarmouth in 1800.

lydia's third child was baptised ann marshall waller in stibbard in 1801, baptism records stated reputed father as john marshall.

lydia's forth child margaret in yarmouth in 1802

fifth child richard waller in stibbard 1805, this is my ancestor who father i am trying to trace, could it be all children born stibbard are to john marshall??...

i have found a birth of a john marshall in stibbard in 1745, died stibbard 1828 aged 82. lydia was born 1772, so if this is the john marshall he was 27 years older than her. i cant find a marriage of a john marshall in stibbard.

all opinions on this matter appreciated.

thanks

hi,

i have found the baptisms for all 5 children.

when the eldest got married he used the name marshall as a middle name on his marriage cert.

on the second childs baptism winn was his middle name

on the fourths child bapptism it say reputed father john marshall - same as the middle name for the first child.

the baptism records for my ancestor is unreadable, i have a copy of the bishops transcript which doesnt give any details or clues to a father.

your opinion appreciated.
