H.J. Marsh & Brother - Ironmongers
Description
Henry James Marsh's early background in Tasmania is rather obscure, but prior to 1850 he was employed by Messrs Dickenson Bros, Hobart Town. On 26 April 1850 he opened on his own accord an ironmongery and paint shop at the corner of Murray and William Streets. It is believed that he entered into a partnership with his brother Samuel Charles Marsh in 1853, but Samuel died the following year.
In 1867 the firm was known as H.J. Marsh and Co., and in 1912 the firm was absorbed by Harris and Marsh. Henry James Marsh married Mary Ann Vautin in 1852; they had a son in 1853 but Mary died two weeks later. Henry married Georgina Barrett in 1854, and they had 9 children. H.J. Marsh died on 28 April 1897.
At least 1 nickle-plated-copper one penny example exists.
