Henry Marshall (bishop of Salford)

Henry Vincent Marshall (19 July 1884 – 14 April 1955) was the sixth Bishop of Salford, a Roman Catholic diocese in the north-west of England.

Following ordination he served as curate at St Wilfrid, Hulme until 1910, when he was loaned to the Diocese of Newport.

In 1935, Marshall was made Vicar General of the Diocese and in 1937 was elevated to the Cathedral Chapter.

[3] This was a difficult time for the Bishop and his diocese, with mobilisation, conscription, evacuation, war work, war-time shortages and the Blitz placing grave pressures on families and parishes.

Post war slum clearance and the creation of overspill estates added to his burdens.
