Joint host of Luigi Sturzo with Barbara Barclay Carter (see there for details).
In 1934 and in 1945/46 she was living at 32 Chepstow Villas, W11.
Our colleague, Andrew Behan has researched Marshall, as follows: Cicely Mary Marshall was born on 1 December 1871 in Adel, Yorkshire, the sixth of the eight children of Reginald Dykes Marshall (1832-1913) and his second wife, Mary Jane Marshall née Stewart (1842-1925). Her birth was registered in the 1st quarter of 1872 in the Wharfedale Registration District, Yorkshire.
Her seven siblings were: Rosamund Stewart Marshall (1865-1939); Helen Blanche Marshall (1866-1946); Sybil Janet Edith Marshall (1867-1952); Fitzroy Dykes Marshall (1869-1932); Ursula Wilhelmina Marshall (1871-1958); Evelyn Adela Marshall (1874-1954) and Olive Edith Marshall (1876-1925). Her two half siblings, by her father's first wife Margaret Louisa Marshall née Herschel (1834-1861), were Mary Adeline Louisa Marshall (1860-1888) and Margaret Alice Edith Herschel Marshall (1861-1909).
In the 1881 census she is shown as aged 8 years and a scholar living at Cookridge Hall, Cookridge, Adel-cum-Eccup, Yorkshire, with her parents, her step-sister, Mary and five sisters: Helen; Sybil; Ursula; Evelyn and Olive, together with a governess, a butler, a footman, a groom, a housekeeper, a nurse, two laundry maids, two housemaids, a schoolroom maid, a kitchen maid, a nursery maid and a scullery maid. Her father was described as a Justice of the Peace for West Yorkshire, a landowner in Cumberland and a brewery owner.
She was shown as aged 19 years in the 1891 census, living at Castlerigg Manor, Crosthwaite, Keswick, Cumberland (now called Cumbria), with her parents, five siblings: Rosamund; Sybil; Fitzroy; Evelyn and Olive, together with a governess, a butler, a footman, a groom, a cook, two lady's maids; two housemaids; a schoolroom maid, a kitchen maid and a scullery maid. Her father was described as a Justice of the Peace and her brother, Fitzroy, was a Lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion, Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.
On 5 July 1928 she was shown as embarking from Southampton, Hampshire, aboard the SS Prinses Juliana of the Nederland Royal Mail Line as a 2nd Class passenger on route to Batavia, Java in the Dutch East Indies (now called Jakarta, Indonesia). She gave her address as 213b Gloucester Terrace, London, W2.
Electoral registers from 1930 to 1934 show her listed at 213b Gloucester Terrace, London, W2, with Edith Jones and Dorothy Barbara Barclay Carter (1900-1951). From 1935 the electoral registers list her at 32 Chepstow Villas, London, W11, with Edith Jones, Barbara Barclay Carter and Valentine Watts. From 1937 Edith Jones was no longer listed. The 1939 England and Wales Register confirmed her date of birth and she is shown as being of private means, still residing at 32 Chepstow Villas with: Dorothy B. B. Carter, a journalist and author and Hilda Clausen (b.1891), a widowed working housekeeper.
Her death was registered in the 1st quarter of 1955 in the Kensington Registration District, London. Probate records confirm that her address had been 32 Chepstow Villas, London, W11 and that she had died, aged 83 years, on 21 January 1955 at St Vincent's Clinic, 12 Ladbroke Terrace, London, W11. Burial records at St Peter's Church, Notting Hill, Kensington Park Road, London, W11 2PN, show that she was buried on 26 January 1955 at Gunnersbury Cemetery, 143 Gunnersbury Avenue, London, W3 8LE. Probate was granted on 13 April 1955 to both Mary Stewart Briggs, a single woman and to Gillian Ursula Nunn, the wife John Ayscough Nunn. Her effects totalled £14,775-15s-5d.
She is shown as 'CICELY M MARSHALL' on the Don Luigi Sturzo plaque at 213 Gloucester Terrace, London, W2.
A woman with this name authored "Terramoto, or the earthquake and eruption. With sketches from life in Southern Italy" but this was in 1859, so the author was not our Marshall.
