I am trying to find information on this family (that someone else has posted on - 'Irish Finder').  I shall put below what i have (factual). i am trying to find out more about Charles Martin (shoemaker) and Thomas Chambers (labourer) these facts are off the wedding certificate of Robert John Martin married 5th May 1876 Tamlaght Upper (O'Crilly) to Thomasina Chambers (seamstress). Both Church of Ireland. Witness was Martha Chambers who i have deducted to be the sister of Thomasina and i also have her marriage cert. What i do NOT know, is Thomasina's mother and other siblings and the wife of Charles Martin, where he was born and died. I have these siblings of Robert John Martin: Elizabeth Anne 4/3/1877 Drumnacannon (Londonderry), Thomas Charles 24/3/1879 Killyguilb (Londonderry), Anne Jane 1889, Mary Ellen 1886, Charles 15/8/1881 (Ireland xo found) and Nannie 16/9/1888 (Ireland xo found).  I have tried to find information, any help is greatly appreciated.
