A possible for Martha's birth - Pocklington is the registration district for Wilberfoss:

Births Dec 1864 (>99%)
WALKER Martha Pocklington 9d 57

The birth cert will give her mother's maiden name.

If you buy the M/C to John it will give you her Dads name

Marriages Mar 1862 (>99%)
Barrett Mary Pocklington 9d 102
Dickinson John Pocklington 9d 102
Smith Mary Pocklington 9d 102
Walker John Pocklington 9d 102

There is no way to 2nd guess this

I'm trying to decide whether her mother is Mary Smith or Mary Barrett - I can't find a birth for either but I think I may have found a Mary Smith christened in Brighton in 1837. She married Martha's father John Walker in 1862 in Pocklington East Yorkshire and I think she may have born in either Brighton(Boughton in transcription) or Deighton according to later censuses. How do I decide between the 2 other than ordering the marriage certificate
