Chapter Chapter 14 in Essays in Biography, 2010, pp 161-231 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Alfred Marshall was born at Clapham on 26 July 1842, the son of William Marshall, a cashier in the Bank of England, by his marriage with Rebecca Oliver.1 The Marshalls were a clerical family of the West, sprung from William Marshall, incumbent of Saltash, Cornwall, at the end of the seventeenth century. Alfred was the great-great-grandson of the Reverend William Marshall,2 the half-legendary herculean parson of Devonshire, who, by twisting horse-shoes with his hands, frightened local blacksmiths into fearing that they blew their bellows for the devil.1 His great-grandfather was the Reverend John Marshall, Headmaster of Exeter Grammar School, who married Mary Hawtrey, daughter of the Reverend Charles Hawtrey, Sub-Dean and Canon of Exeter, and aunt of the Provost of Eton.2
