I think it's pretty clear that Scrooge and Marley are lenders and usurers; going to change this--any objections? Quill 23:14, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
AimeeMann wrote a song called "Jacob Marley's Chain," and it appears on her first solo album-- 1993's "Whatever."
He is occaisonally accidentally called "Bob Marley". lol
By the way, why was he consigned to Hell? In Pauline theology, salvation is based on faith alone.
can we have a image of him from one of the media adaptions of the story that he appears in?. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.175.5.174 ( talk) 00:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
I could have sworn that in the Disney adaptation, it was implied that it wasn't because of a small amount of money left behind by Jacob Marley that he was buried at sea, but it was in fact merely because Scrooge didn't wish to spend the money on a funeral -- he was, after all, a notorious miser (and is still known to this day to be one). After all, Scrooge and Marley were partners in their practice of swindling and money-making -- surely Marley would have had a sizeable amount of money for his own from all that hoodwinking and business. And note that I don't quite remember the exact phrase, so my partial quote up there as my title may be wrong . . . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.50.130 ( talk) 05:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Jacob Marley was Bob Marley's half brother. Could someone add a section on that? Also it should be noted that his fondness for reggae music was shared with Scrouge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.21.163.227 ( talk) 21:03, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
