Leakeyvale Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Does anyone have any information about the Marshall company? I am trying to discover what part the sons of the founder played in the business; Henry in particular. None of my reference books mentions either of them.

Tellarian Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Would that be Henry Dickenson Marshall 1840 - 1906?? Lots of info in The Story of The Britannia Iron Works by Michael R Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of info in The Story of The Britannia Iron Works by Michael R Lane Was he Major Henry? or was that Henry a grandson because the dates are a bit early for the one I am looking for. This Henry ought to be around in 1938+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellarian Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Henry Dickenson, second son of William & Eliza Marshall, James 1836 - 1922 was the first son. Try and get the book from the local library on a request, has the full history and family tree etc. The book came out in 1993 and is the full history. In Edit, the family tree shows a Henry as a grandson of the above, son of Herman D Marshall (1873) Herman D was a Major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that info - I am certainly not going to buy it - prices range from £125 to over £400 and all I really need to know is how involved was he in the business. Library it will have to be!

Tellarian Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The book was £28 when it came out, but all Michael Lane's works fetch tht price these days.. Sue - looked at my copy, the book has a forward by Major Henry Marshall (Grandson of the first Henry Dickenson) and was written with his assistance, so off to the Library with you!

Ta muchly - he obviously was very involved in the business! Cannot get to the library today as I am on support and testing duties. Will try Andover tomorrow if I get a chance. I know they do not have it 'cos I checked their catalogue. They are only library in the area that has one online - wonders will never cease!

Leakeyvale Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks for the tip - have just collected the book from the library and it I am in for some interesting bedtime reading. Marshalls seem to have had a similar history to Taskers (now sadly defunct) although the latter never made agricultural tractors as far as I know. £1.50 search and retrieve fee is good value!
