Elizabeth Marsh at Chatham with her father Milbourne Marsh
Elizabeth’s husband became bankrupt and she was left at home with Milbourne in Chatham where she wrote “The Female Captive” about her time in Morocco. Later she went with her daughter to India to meet up with her husband, leaving her son, Burrish behind. However in 1771 her daughter was sent back and her son Burrish was shipped to India with Milbourne paying the cost of £80. However, the ship’s chief mate ran off with that money so Milbourne had to pay out another £50 for the passage. Burrish arrived in Madras in 1772 in a not very good state, and then was sent off with a merchant to Tehran for a few years to learn Persian which was the official language of the East India Company and the of the Mughal court.

After Mr.Ommanney had conducted the business (Sole Super-intendency of his Agency business) between 7 & 8 years Mr Marsh proposed to him that his Son (William Marsh) might attend the Countinghouse in order to his taking him his Partner after his connection with Mr Marsh should expire, when to his great surprise Mr Ommanney declined it, urging that it was not mentioned when he was taken into the House, that he had an aversion to Partnership, and that by the time his connections with Mr Marsh expired, Mr Marsh’s friends would be chiefly dead, or worked out of the House, and those remaining would be mostly his friends.
Mr Marsh replied that although he did not mention his Son when he took Mr Ommanney into partnership, yet it was evident from the Agreement and between them, that he did not intend giving up a business he had been near twenty years acquiring, and if many of his friends should be dead &c, when the connection with him would expire, he asked Mr Ommanney whose they were when he was admitted into the business, that the reasons for not mentioning his Son to Mr Ommanney at that time were that his Son was then a Child, consequently no judgment could be formed what turn he might take, and as he could not have conceived that if he ever should make such a proposal to a Man who had been taken from a Clerkship in a Dock Yard of £40 a Year (as Mr Ommanney ) and placed in an established good business in which he had a fortune should afterwards refuse to take the Son of so great a friend and benefactor.
Whereupon Mr Ommanney consented (though unwillingly) to Mr Marsh’s Son attending the Countinghouse, but he neither employed, conversed with, or showed him anything of the business, or introduced him to any of the Gentlemen who came to the House.
Mr Marsh therefore took him from thence and placed him in the Victualing Office, to get acquainted with Public business &c., till his connection with Mr Ommanney should expire.
