JAMES MARSH and ELIZABETH ANNE HUTT
Gr Grandparents

To exchange info about this family, please use the e-mail link at the left.

My Great Grandparents were James Marsh, born 15 Dec 1854 in Lancashire, Eng, although his given first name may also have been Thomas like his son's, and Elizabeth Anne Hutt, born Aug 1867, and christened 24 Nov 1867 in Glamorgan, Wales.

James and Elizabeth were married 30 Dec 1882 in Floyd Co, IN and were the parents of 8 children, one of whom died in infancy. The children were born between 1883 and 1899. Elizabeth died in either just after Christmas ca 1906 from complications arising from a stillbirth.
We have information from our Aunt, now 81, that James had a sister and brother-in-law named Johnson, who, during her childhood, lived in England and manufactured fancy smoking pipes that they often sent on Christmas to James as gifts.

With the help of Judie Kotras, we have found who we believe to be James' sister, an Esther Johnson, in Lancashire census records for 1881, with husband Joseph H. Johnson, a pipemaker, and children. We recently received a marriage certificate for Esther Marsh and Joseph Johnson and Esther's father's name was recorded as Thomas Marsh.

Elizabeth died just after Christmas, either late December or early January. She was pregnant but the baby was dead already.

But by then it was too late, and she died in the hospital. ®17
