Mary Marshall was born on 25th September 1835 in the parish of Luton. Quite likely she was born in one of the rural hamlets to the south-east of the town. Her elder brothers had been born at Lawrence End in the parish of King's Walden, Hertfordshire, whilst her younger brother George was born at Someries in the parish of Luton, Bedfordshire, which is very close to Lawrence End.
In 1841, Mary was living with her parents and siblings at East Hyde. In 1851 Mary and her aunt Sarah Marshall were both lodging in the town of Luton at Lea Street, working as sewers in the straw plaiting industry which dominated the town at the time.
Mary was not baptised as a baby. In 1851, aged 15, she was baptised at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Chapel Street in Luton.
Early in 1852 Mary developed pulmonary tuberculosis. She suffered with it for five months, before dying on 27th July 1852, aged sixteen.

The informant, Sarah Marshall, could have been either Mary's mother or her aunt - with the latter more likely given that her address is given as Park Street, which adjoins Lea Road (or Street) where Mary and Sarah had been living together at the time of the 1851 census just over a year earlier.
