According to 1851 and 1861 census he was bc.1821 in Pontefract, Yorkshire not in Great Yarmouth so this needs to be moved to the Yorkshire board.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.   Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.   Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Baptism easily found on familysearch - John Morton bp.16/5/1820 Pontefract, son of Mary (there's also an exact same entry dated 28/5/1820 - hard to say without looking at original parish record as to which date is correct - he was definitely illegitimate.

Marriage -

John Martin, Mariner
Marriage - 26 Jan 1844, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Father - Thomas Ackester, Ship Owner?
Spouse - Mary Ann Hawkins

Perhaps his father's name was added/made up to 'save face'.
