William Tripp Marshall
published by msgrant256@btinternet.com on Wed, 17/05/2023 - 10:04

My great grandfather was William Tripp Marshall married to Isabella Clara Gray. His son my grandfather Victor Launcelot Marshall had several siblings. His mother passed away, the male side of the family moved in with Victors sister and her husband, The Cousens. The 2 younger daughters Violet and Mary appear to have been sent to a school in Enfield Middlesex. I am curious why this would have occurred.
I wonder if anyone can enlighten me. Would they have come back to Weston after finishing school.

The school appears to be a Charity School - from the 1901 census - The Ruth Elliott House of Rest for Poor Children, Brigadier Hill, Enfield. Were the MARSHALL family Methodists? There are several letters to Methodist Newspapers about donations to the school.
I see that Mary was back with her father and brother in Weston in 1911 with the COUSINS family in George Street.
