Born in Guernsey and trained as a solicitor. Stayed in Guernsey only intermittently, living at different times in the USA, Paris, Alderney, London, Devon, Hampshire and Cornwall. Awarded a bonze medal by the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Soc. for an essay on Cornish beetles. Also interested in botany and Hymenoptera. Died at Totnes. A collection of 5000 beetles made by Marquand is in the Guille-Alles Museum, Guernsey, originally in a 12 drawer cabinet and 20 store boxes, together with mss (4 pages). The collection may have been in the possession of W.A.Luff before his death in 1910. Includes material from E.Saunders who also did dets for him, J.B.Bridgman and Kempwelch (Fenscore). There is an obituary by B.T.Rowswell in Trans. Guernesy Soc. nat. Sci. 8, 1918, pp.83-90, including a bibliography, which I have not seen. He is also referred to in Jn. Biol. Curation, 1, pp.5-19 .
