Pleased you have got this sorted now.

I wondered if they called Robert Manthorpe, Marty or Manty or somehing like that when he was small, and it got on the Census that way. Well we shall never know now, but you now some leads to go even furtehr back now I presume. 

Good luck.

Hi Tazzie, EBN,
I think I've laid the Martyne mystery to rest - but who knows.

I've got Robert his wife & son on 1901 and I've traced my family back to 1744 in Shropshire.

I've still got plenty of names that need adding to the tree so the research goes on.

Many thanks to you both for all the help.
Chris
Sockett in Shropshire, Montgomeryshire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Glamorgan and probably the rest of the UK

Baylis/s in Gloucestershire, South Wales
Richards in Breconshire
Manthorpe in Shropshire, Norfolk, Cheshire, Suffolk

Hi Chris,  You may or may not know there are still a great number of Socketts still living in Hereford,  if you consult the 'phone book you will see.  I know several personally.
Good searching
