Hello Everyone,

I recently posted on the marriage of Alfred Harvey and Margaret Siddell Marshall, Nailsea. Margaret Siddell Marshall was born in 1850 Sunderland, Durham Co., England. She is the daughter of John Marshall b. c 1822, Newcastle, Northumberland County, GLASSMAKER, sometime between 1861 and 1867 her entire family moved to Nailsea, by 1870 her family and Alfred Harvey (her husband) left for the U.S.A.

I would love to find more information on the Glass House in Nailsea. Alfred Harvey is listed in the 1870 U.S.A. census as a Glass worker & John Marshall the same. Believe me descendents of John Marshall & Alfred Harvey were still working in a glass factory (Wheaton Glass Company, Millville, NJ) well into the 1990's. When my husband's mother retired, she had spent 44 years in the glass factory. This was a real surprise...150 years later...oh my.

With the warmest regards,
Mary
