One of the founder members of the RESL and father of Thomas Ansell Marshall (see below). Published a number of notes on stridulation in insects including ‘Cause of sound in Cychrus rostratus’, Ent. Mag. 1, 1833, pp.213-14. This is presumably the Marshall referred to by Stephens (1828) as ‘my friend’ (p. 62). Stephens also refers to his having a collection (p.179). It may also be the Thomas Marshall who presented 1,051 British insects including 445 Coleoptera to Leicester Museum on 8 October 1849 (Lott, 2009, p.6). (MD 2/04, 11/09)
