Joseph Marsh and Elizabeth Dixon

[PamelaGrace]

Hello,
We're looking for information about Joseph Marsh and his family.
Joseph Marsh was born abt 1831 in Lancashire, around St Helens, his father was Peter Marsh. Joseph  married Elizabeth Dixon who was also born in Lancashire in 1832. She died in Nov 1879, we believe. Joseph died in Feb 1867. Joseph and Elizabeth had 4 children that we know of, Peter born abt 1855, Mary born about 1857, Edward born abt 1860 and Ellen (Mary Ellen) born abt 1865. Ellen married Allan Moseley had came to New Zealand in 1906.
We would greatly appreciate any information about the Marsh or Dixon family. Thank you.
Kind Regards.
