Adam Cook Marshall died in 1960, aged 82 years. He outlived his three brothers who emigrated to Australia- James who died in 1926; Hugh in 1941 and William in 1951. Between the four brothers, the Kilbirnie Marshall bloodline has certainly continued to grow and prosper on Australian soil, with many Marshall descendants spread throughout Victoria and other states.
