Seeking parents of Martha (Margaret). She married Septimus Benson in Liverpool in 1877. The wedding certificate states that her father was William and he was deceased by that time. I know this is a long shot but I am really stuck and this tree is for my mums surprise birthday party. We plan to put the tree up on the wall before she enters her surprise party. Mum was an only child, her dad died when she was 15 and her mum was an alcoholic so she knows NOTHING about her encestry. Please if anyone can help at all I would return the favour.
