 | | It appears that a prominant Norman family of de Mareis/ de Marisco (whoses descendants adopted the surname Marsh, Marris, Maris, and Morris, and possibly March, and Mark) were among the early recorded Marshes in England. |
 | | One source seems to hint that one family of de Marisco/ Marsh was living in Yorshire before 1066, almost certainly a different family from the Norman de Mariscos. |
 | | However, the Norman de Marisco (de Merc) family, said to have been at the Battle of Hasitngs with William the Conqueror in 1066, was definitely in Hampshire, Dorset, Lundy, Northhamptonshire, and Somerset very early on, and appears to have spread from there to Essex, Ireland, and Lincolnshire, before spreading out further. |
