Maxine she would be 17 in 1914 so old enough to marry. If she married another Martin then the name is common enough for her husband to be unrelated

hi maxine acheaper way to do it is to use the checking system on GRO each check is £3 and you can ask them to stop when they find the right one

also,if she didnt marry will i still be able to find her later in life rather than just when she was born? sorry it gets a bit confusing!!!

Maxine I''m afraid that this information is not going to be easy or cheap ofr you to find, Martin is quite a common name.

I suggest that you look at the marriages for Harriet E Martin to see just how many there are. To find which is your Harriet you will need to order marriage certs one at a time until you find the correct one, bearing in mind that your Harriet may not have married.

This is the site to use & it's free
