In May, of 1840, John Marquis of Greenock very correctly approached John Macfie to enquire if he might "pay his addresses " to Robina.
He had been an admirer of her he said since 1834, and his sister subsequantly divulged the fact that two years previously he had named on of his ships after her. He was the only son of John Marquis,
a shipmaster of Huguenot descent. He was well liked in the family, " a great crony of John Graham
and was engaged with his partner James Denniston
,in a grain and corn business in Greenock and Limerick.
They were married on the 6 October , and after a short honeymoon spent partly in the Lake District, they returned to Greenock and settled down at Brookfield, "a very sweet place"
with a cheeful view of the river and of the vessels moving to and from.
In 1847 John Marquis experienced a particular commercial crisis, the grain business which he and his partner James Denniston ,carried on was largely an Irish one,
and the state of Ireland was deplorable. At the end of August they found themselves in difficulties. John Marquis on going to Limerick found matters worse than
he had anticipated, and failure seemed unavoidable.
After long negotiations, however John arranged to carry on the business, promising to manage the mill in Ireland himself.
He and his family there left Greenock at the end of the year to take up at O'Brien's Bridge, Castle Connell .
Joint sureties for the reconstructioon were John Macfie , his father in law and James Fairrie , uncle of James Denniston.
By 1848 John and his family had settled comfortably in Ireland, Robina wrote home stating that her house was cheerful and that Limerick was a bustling town
with crowds of country folk, and " plenty of soldiers marching with music" Her husband was looking forward to re establishing his business and was well satisfied with his prospect.
However in June of the same year the mill had caught fire and had been burned down. This was a great disappointment to John and he therefore decided to discontinue business in Ireland.
He settled his affiars by the autumn and at the beginning of October his wife and children left for Liverpool, to take possession of a house at #30 Percy Street, which his mother in law
Mrs John Macfie had made ready for them.
John Marquis himself remained in Ireland a week or two longer to make some final arrangements before joining his family.
He seems to have made up his mind to give up the corn business, and at once set about enquiring for some new opening.which did not take too long to come about.
In January 1849, with the assistance of John Macfie ( his father in law) he arranged a partnership in a General brokers business with Archibald Baxter, and was soon doing well.
John Marquis and his family liked Liverpool, his boys were getting on famously at Mr Thomson's school. Once evening little John was sent out with a message and failed to reach his destination. The alarm was given, serach parties sallied forth, the police and the bell-man were informaed. An Advertisment was set for insertion in the Liverpool Times and actually appeared on the following morning. In the neamtime however, the child had been found, fast asleep on the sofa in the sitting room. - he had never gone out at all.
