....all born and lived in Oswaldtwistle at 301 Union Rd as children and young adults.
(Parents were Edward and Amelia Marsden)

Maybe they moved away/emigrated but WW1 is the most likely reason why they were never mentioned.
I remember my gran and two great aunts very clearly, but they never mentioned having any brothers.

Do you have record of them Retlaw darling?
I have 40 with the name Marsden, most of them seem to be living in Snuffy.
I have an Edward, age 36/10, lived at 13 Bridge St, Snuffy, joined the R.G.A.
