William George Martin (who married Sophia Marsh) is one of my direct ancestors - still trying to find out whether he was born in Lyons, France, and firm up the date of 1815.  I'm decended from his son, Robert Ignatious Martin (b 03-Aug-1839).  Seems to ba a strong connection with Nottingham lace industry (draughtsmen in the family).
