If you think that Gwyn found the correct marriage (and you can look on free bmd for yourself) then you need to get that marriage certificate to get her Father's name.
With both Mother and Father (and sister) she will be easier to find in censuses.

What do you know of her sister Lizzie? - Was she quite a lot older than Martha?

What happened to the child born in 1900? - Did he/she survive and if so, what was the name?

You are best to get some certs to confirm but it looks to be correct?
