I can trace the Martin line back to a birth in 1809 if you want the details.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for all the information, although Edwin is not a blood line he is my Step grandad we were very close in the later years. He was my late dads step dad, my dad I think was about 5 when he married Rose. So yes please any information would be great. Thank you
