Hamilton Township:I am descended from James MARSHALL, born 1821 in Bali Bay, County of Monaghan, Ireland and travelled with his brother, John MARSHALL, to Canada in early 1840's. John apparently stopped "just east of Bewdley" and disappeared from our knowledge while brother James settled on the 12th Concession of Manvers in 1845 and for whom we have an on-going history. We wish to connect with John's family and would appreciate hearing of any Marshall family in the county.
