I have only just joined rootschat but think I can help you with the family of Downes-Martin.  I have left a message tonight but am not sure if it will be received direct by you, forgive me for my ineptitude!

My sons are direct descendants of Edward and if I can help to fill your gaps I would  be happy to do so, likewise I have some gaps of my own particularly I would  like to know  how Edward got back to Ireland as such a young orphan and how the original John Martin of Belfast got there from Macclesfield, or Pott Shrigley.  One source says that he travelled to America and married there but I am not sure about that.

My sons are direct descendants of Edward Downes Martin.  I have quite a lot of information regarding the family including a copy of Edward's baptism, which I would be willing to share if anyone is interested.  I still have gaps including how Edward, as such a young orphan travelled from Canada back to Ireland.  It should be noted that "Downes" was one of Edward's given names and not part of his surname but he adopted it as such some time after his second marriage to Rose Lily Caddick. 

I think Kinkerswell must be the husband of the friend helping Julia and if so I would very much like to be in touch.  I do know what you mean about that HUGE will!
