I have a Rhodes Edward Marshall born 6/11/1854 at Boston Lincs died 11/4/1938 at Wynnum Brisbane Queensland
His father was a Edward Marshall born 1833 Boston Lincs died 28/11.1888 washed overboard at sea,he married a Charlotte Adelaide Richardson 21/2/1854 at Boston Lincs.
I have been told that Edward (1833 died 1888) was also called Rhodes Edward Marshall but I have not been able to confirm this.
I would be most gratefull for any assistance with this query.
I do have all of the family from Edward 1833 to the present day thank you
Ellen

What does the biirth cert say about the father?

One assumes you have it, as you know exact DoB

The father married as Edward

Marriages Mar 1854 (>99%)
MARSHALL Edward Boston 7a 501
RICHARDSON Charlotte Adelaide Boston 7a 501

Why do you think he had an additional forename?

Is this the Edward you are asking about (born 1832 rather than 1833)? If so then HIS father was called Rhodes:-

Someone on Ancestry has recorded Edward (1832) as Rhodes Edward with absolutely NO documentary backup

One other tree on Ancestry is accurate, with Edward's name being recorded as simply that............Edward

Thank you all for your messages My friend Mary tells me that her husband Graham Leonard Marshall's father was a Leonard Albert Marshall who told him that his grandfather was a Rhodes Edward born 1854
Also that his Great Great grandfather was a Rhodes Marshall this one appears to be the one who married a Mary Sargentson/Sargeson 20/5/1828 as supplied by ErikaH
As always excellent service Thank you Ellen
