Who was Martha Ann Gittens?

[gnorman]

Hi everyone, I was recently sent some access to a family Bible. I doesnt have many names in the Bible but they are as follows.
Bought by Richard (b.20.11.1837) & Charlotte Millington (b.21.12.1832) for their daughter Charlotte (27.04.1867) and her husband Samuel Andrew (b.09.04.1853).

- Richard and Charlotte are my great great great great grandparents and Charlotte was the sister of my great great great grandmother.

The bible then mentions
Gertrude Marion Morris b.08.07.1918
Raymond James b.24.07.1935
Ronald James b.06.01.1924
Mildred James b.03.11.1928

Gertrude was the neice of Charlotte and Samuel,
Raymond, Ronald and Mildred were siblings and cousins of Gertrude.

The final name in the book, on a page of its own reads
'Martha Ann Gittens born July 21st 1887'

Can anyone help me find out who she was and if she was related at all please (Charlotte Millington's previous married name was Brown and her maiden name was Dolman).

Any help would be great,

thanks, Luke

Looking at 1891 census, parents could be William Gittens and Sarah.



Grandparents possibly William Gittens and Ann Evans who married in 1841 in Wolverhampton.
There is an Ann Evans living with George Brown and Harriet Brown in 1841.

Marriage
1906 Dudley
Martha Ann Gittings and John Pittam are on the same page.
1911 census supports this as the marriage.
1939 supports this as Martha b 1887

Why is this topic on the Lancashire board - are the original Bible owners born Lancashire ?

Martha Ann did marry John Pittam - her birthdate is given as 21st July 1887 in a later record

My reply tried to confirm this without giving too much away
