Hi! Thanks for all this info...I do have a fair amount of material on the Martins..especially the sons and daughters...Walter in fact married twice but having difficulty in getting info on the death of his first wife although her father and brother are well documented. My biggest difficulty is getting information on Thomas’s father and mother...I can guess..but even knowing they came from Ytrone isn’t a big help.
But, I do appreciate the help and interest from people here..I am quite new to this, but as my cousin’s wife who introduced me to it said....it is addictive!

If you haven't already come across it, an item in the March 9th, 1878 edition of the People's Advocate and Monaghan, Fermanagh, and Tyrone News may be of interest.

It concerns a request  from Thomas for a testimonial from the workhouse Board of Guardians and touches on him having been dismissed from there after charges he brought against  some officers of the establishment were not substantiated.
