John Marston was born about 1575. He came of good family and was considered a gentleman. His father was a lawyer who became a member of the Middle Temple in London but who practiced in Coventry. John Marston was presumably educated in the grammar school in Coventry; in 1591, when he was sixteen we know that he entered Oxford and completed his bachelor’s degree two years later. It is likely that he began the study of law. He apparently did little in that career but he was buried in the Middle Temple and was registered there as "sometimes of the Middle Temple," so he seems to have qualified to practice law.
