Hi,

A copy of his birth certifcate should confirm his parents but this group on 1891 census looks promising:

Priscilla Marshall, widow 74,
Richard Marshall, son, 39, plasterer
Mary        "           daughter in law, 41
Clara        "          granddaughter  14

Hi,

Priscilla Marshall is shown as Head of the family, a laundress, born in Canterbury.

Access to 1881 census is free;  have you looked for Priscilla there?

Thomas MARSHALL, 59, Head, Mar, born Canterbury
Priscilla, 43, Wife, Mar, born Canterbury
Matilda, 19, Daug, Unm, Dressmaker, born Canterbury
Richard, 10, Son, Scholar, born Canterbury
Reuben SOLLY, 25, Boarder, Unm, Plasterer,born Exeter, Devon

Charlotte M, 11, Daug, Scholar

Richard J, 10mths, Son
Sarah DOBBS, 82, Mother, Widow (Deaf)
All born Canterbury

(Index has Sarah as age 22!!, image is 82)

Canterbury, Kent
HO107/486/20/St Paul
Thomas MARSHALL, 30, Ag Lab
Priscilla, 20
Charlotte, 1
Sarah DOBBS, 70
All born in County

Now it looks like THOMAS/PRISCILLA only had 3 Children;
Charlotte Mary 1839
Matilda Jane 1841
Richard John 1850

Sarah DOBBS may be either Thomas or Priscillas Mother who has remarried to a DOBBS.
EDIT looks like Thomas's Mother remarried a DOBBS as I have found Priscillas Parents below.

Thomas MARSHALL Marriage Reg on FreeBMD, March 1839, Canterbury, 5 79
On the same page is Priscilla Mary LEMAR

Marriage Cert of Thomas/Priscilla would confirm Fathers names and occps;
Then we may be able to find his Christening and Mothers remarriage.
