Bio Notes: James Marshall was born somewhere between 1858 and 1868, the son of David Marshall builder, Newton of Pitcairns [Dunning] and his wife Mary Allan. Though we know very little about him and as yet have only one job, his obituarist says he was 'exceedingly well-known in his profession and carried on a successful business in Perth. Quite a number of the most modern business premises, as well as tenements and villas in the city were under his direction , while his services were in great demand in the county district, and he was responsible for reconstruction of a large number of farm steadings'. Marshall also had farming interests, owning a number of 'grass parks' and in breeding stock. He seems to have collaborated on a number of schemes with a John Marshall, a builder, who was possibly a brother.
