Surname Saturday (on Sunday) - MARSHALL

Each Saturday I will be posting one of my surnames. I will be starting with the 4 main lines – my paternal line of Farrell and Devlin and my maternal line of Marshall and Burnett, after which I will post most likely in alphabetical order using the Ahnentafel numbering system. The names in red are my direct ancestors.

This weeks surname is Marshall, my maternal grandfather's paternal line and my maternal grandmother's maternal line. These two lines are connected as my maternal grandparents were first cousins.
