ROBERT MARSHALL
Robert was my great grandfather and I am stuck trying to find more info on him, including his actual birth date in 1843. He was 31 when he married in January 1875, and 56 in September of 1899 when he died. I have his marriage and death certificates but they don't list a lot of details. There were a lot of obituary notices on his death found in PapersPast and one lists his birthplace as Dungannon in County Tyrone.
I have some information on his emigration on the ship "Mary Shepherd" with a note saying fellow passengers William D and Mary Ann Leslie were Robert's cousins.
I have searched Roots Ireland with no birth results that match.
Any one with suggestions I would welcome your help :)
Many thanks
Julie
