GEORGE MARTIN and ELIZABETH ROBINSON

[Octaviusdance]

Looking for any information about GEORGE MARTIN born in about 1823,  Married at Torpenhow Parish Church on 26 May 1849 to ELIZABETTH (BETSY) ROBINSON.

Over the period from about 1858 to 1869 George and Elizabeth lived at a variety of places in Cumberland , Torpenhow, Sunderland Cottages, Isell, Bassenthwaite

His father was William Martin

Grateful for any information about his date and place of birth and date and place of Death and any information about his father William

I believe George died in about 1870

After George died ELIZABETH lived in Brigham Village  (1871,18981, 1891 census)  Cannot find in 1861 census. Before moving to the Bank, Eaglsfield in 1901 census.

I believe Elizabeth died before the 1911 census.

Her father was John Robinson

I would be grateful for any information about her birth and death and about her parents.

Thank you

Octo

Cannot find in 1861 census.

In 1861 the family is in Bothel, but no sign of husband / father George.

Elizabeth is recorded as married.


I don't see George in the 1851 census either.

There is an Elizabeth Robinson bap. 16 November 1828 at Wigton.
Parents John and Jane Robinson.

Census she says born Wigton and first born daughter named Jane 1849 after her maternal grand mother

In 1851, I think George Martin is working as a farm servant in Bothel (so not with his family)

He is recorded as born Embleton, Cumberland

Marriage 1849 Wigton
George Martin to Betsy Robinson

It is necessary to know complete information from this marriage record.

[Neale1961]

The only census that I can find for George is 1851. There his birth is Allerdale.
If you have other census records – please post them.

Having a look in the Allerdale area
In 1841 and 1851 there is a William Martin and wife Elizabeth who are the right age to be George’s parents.
You could explore this family further.

1841 Brigham, Allerdale above Derwent
William Martin 56  ag lab.
Elisabeth Martin 50
Elisabeth Martin 11

1851 Embleton (Low Mill)
William Martin, Head, 66, Ag lab, born Cumberland
Elizabeth Martin, wife, 60, born Caldbeck
Joseph Martin, son, 36, Ag lab, born Embleton


There is a baptism for a George Martin (see reply1) that would fit with those parents

Parents William and Elizabeth
