This is a Martha Thomas born 1895 Salford, but don't know if she is your Martha. It's guesswork without certs.

Census 1911:

THOMAS, William Henry Head Married M 38 1873 Stoker Lancs Salford
THOMAS, Mary Jane Wife Married 1 years F 45 1866 Cheshire Macclesfield
>>>THOMAS, Martha Ellen Daughter Single F 16 1895 Rope Maker Lancs Salford

Name: Martha Ellen Thomas
Year of Registration: 1895
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Salford
County: Greater Manchester, Lancashire
Volume: 8d
Page: 52

Possibility:
Name: Martha E Thomas
Spouse Surname: Joseph Snell
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1916
Registration district: Salford
Registration county (inferred): Lancashire
Volume Number: 8d
Page Number: 72

I cannot spot a Thomas/Porter marriage in that area 1910~1930.

This might be the above Martha dying, her age would fit an 1895 birth:

Name: Martha E Snell
Death Registration Month/Year: 1934
Age at death (estimated): 39
Registration district: Salford
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8d
Page: 320


If you are following the child Frederick backwards you really need a copy of his birth certificate to discover more about who his parents were:

Name: Frederick Porter
Mother's Maiden Surname: Thomas
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1921
Registration district: Salford
Registration County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8d
Page Number: 141

You can order a certificate online from www.gro.gov.uk It will cost you £9.25 including postage.

There does not appear to be any more Porter/Thomas births in Salford
