MARSHALL family in Spain ~ La familia MARSHALL en España
My great-grandfather, Arthur MARSHALL, was a mining engineer and he worked in
the mines of the Huelva province, Spain. He lived with his wife in Valverde del
Camino. They had five children, two of whom were born in Spain. While living in
Valverde, the girls were educated in the local convent. The family spent their
holidays in Punta Umbria, a beach resort. When the family returned to England in
the 1920s, the children were fluent in Spanish but could speak little
English.
Mi bisabuelo, Artúro MARSHALL, fue ingeniero en una explotación minera
de la provincia de Huelva en España. Residío con su esposa en Valverde del
Camino, lugar donde educaban a las chichas en el convento local. Tuvieron cinco hijos,
dos de ellos nacidos en España. Mientras que vivían en Valverde, educaban a las muchachas en el convento local.
La familia pasaba sus vacaciones en Punta Umbría, un enclave de la playa. Cuándo
regresaron a Inglaterra en los años 20, los niños hablaban español
con fluidez y el inglés, por el contrario, con cierta dificultad.
