John Marchbank

John Marchbank (19 January 1883 – 25 March 1946) was a Scottish trade unionist.

Born in Lambfoot in Dumfriesshire, Marchbank worked in his youth as an assistant to his father, who was a shepherd.

He moved to work for the Caledonian Railway Company when he reached eighteen and, other than a short period in the Dumfriesshire County Police, spent the remainder of his working life on railway matters.

This became part of the new National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) in 1912, and Marchbank was elected to its executive committee.
