Looking for any information regarding the descendants of Thomas MARSHALL and Sarah SPICK, who were married in 1865 in Southwell, Notts.

They had 8 children born between 1865 and 1889. It has been said that Thomas and Sarah may have died in a house fire at a farm in Stapleford, some time around 1895 - can anyone verify this ?

The family were in Bramcote in 1891.

The 2 youngest children, Alice & James, were adopted by the eldest son, John and his wife, Dinah HERBERT.

I think the gtgranddaughter of Alice posted a message on this board some years ago and I have been trying to get in touch but without success.

The second son, Francis, was my gtgrandfather and he moved to Chesterfield and married Sarah Hannah HAYES IN 1893.

I can find no trace of the other 4 children after 1891 ...

Any help appreciated,

Thank you,

Paul Marshall
