William Martin - found at last?

Button-Fly Genes: A Cautionary Tale

Right: I think that I've found my William Martin, with his father John (the Labourer, not the Mariner), mother Sarah and brothers George and Thomas.

They appear in the 1841 Census in Bosham, all the men are Agricultural Labourers.
  • John Martin c1784
  • Sarah Martin c1788
    • George Martin c1824
    • Thomas Martin c1826
    • William Martin c1828
As I now know that the family are from Old Fishbourne and being a little more cautious (isn't hindsight great!), I'm going to obtain the Fishbourne Parish records before tracing anything through.

    Hi Mark, I'm descended from John and Sarah martin from Warblington, they went on to live in Portsmouth. Taling of Portsmouth, the record office has the parish registers for Warblington on fiche. Happy hunting!

    Using familysearch, I've also located a marriage record in the IGI for William Martin and Sarah Gass in Sidlesham, Sussex in October 1816.

    In the 1851 Census, a William Martin appears with wife Sarah and son Thomas, his wife and two daughters. Interestingly, however, a visitor is listed too: one Edman Gapa. Could this be a mistranscription of Gass?
