Marsh Family originally from Dudley	by michael marsh (Member 10195565) on 14-Oct-2006
I am researching the Marsh family, who moved from the Dudley area to Birmingham in around 1830. They lived in the All Saints/Ladywood areas. They were mostly glass cutters. Please see my web site for more details Re: Marsh Family originally from Dudley by Jenny James (Member 10241930) on 28-Oct-2009 Hi my maiden name was Marsh and my father came from Brierly Hill. His name was George Robinson Marsh and his father ran a public house, I think the Blue Boar. I am not sure. He spent his early years in an orphanage as when his mother remarried a Mr. Edwards and they had a child call Alec, they could not afford both children. My dad left the orphanage in the mid to late 30's he joined the King S hropshire Light Infantry and later was at Dunkirk. He then joined the Parachute Regiment at its conception and was later in many battles including being at Arnhem. Unfortunately he is no longer alive but I know that he had friends who worked in the foundrys in Brierly Hill. If you could throw any light on the Marsh family I would be most grateful. Jenny James nee Marsh ... more >> Re: Marsh Family originally from Dudley by Jenny James (Member 10241930) on 28-Oct-2009 Sorry just found out the pub was The Blue Brick in Dudley Road not far from Dudley Zoo!

He was foreman in charge of a group of men whose job it was to keep all of the companies buildings in good repair, so moved around most of their shops. As a child i used to go the the yearly christmas partied they would have for all employees children. Usual ly turned out into a bit of a bun fight. ... more >> Re: marsh and baxter by anthony lane (Member 10243770) on 18-Jan-2010 When Marsh and Baxters started to be knocked down, I took a series of approximatly 8 photo's when i worked with my father at Lane's Shoes Shop (46 High Street Brierley Hill). As parts of the buildings dissapeared, i took another photo from the same position each time. These were displayed inside Ron Lane's shop window.(Old 'Vic Potter' had the stationary shop next door and 'Radio Rentals' the oth er side of us) Dont tell the tax man - but i sold a number of copies of my sets of photo's of Marsh and Baxters dissapearing to various local customers for 50p a set. I headed these Going,going,GONE! The final photo in the set was of the new build "Do-it-all" DIY. I just remembered that me and my father used to pop in to Do-it-all and have breakfast in the cafe/canteen there once a week. I also remember a gentleman from Brierley Hill Library bought a set of my photo's for the Library. Maybe they still have them somewhere? I dont know what happened to my original set.
