Family History
William Marsden was born in Sheffield, the son of William and Mary Elizabeth Marsden. He was born about 1897 and was one of seven children. Maybe because his father had been born there, the family returned to Misson, living at Cullem Cottages, around 1903 where William worked as a 13 year old errand boy.
