Susan Birom was described as 'insane' in the 1861 Census. This newspaper clipping from 1836 goes some way to explaining why she was living with Samuel Salter in 1841 and subsequently his son, Robert Salter....

John Martin BIROM and Elizabeth Crosley THARPE
married 5 June 1845, by licence
at St Mark's, Kennington Park Road, Lambeth

He was (of course) a surgeon at the time.

He stated that his father was called JOHN BIROM
but gave no information about his father's 'rank or profession' so we don't know whether JMB's father was alive at the time, or what his occupation was.

Susan Hirom was supposedly a widow as early as 1820 but did not name the father of her two sons when they were baptised.

It remains to be seen whether 'John Birom' was JMB's father.

JMB may have been illegitimate and may therefore have invented a name for his father in 1845.

NB1: I had difficulty in tracking down the image of the marriage record on Ancestry because the surname had been indexed as BIRON.

NB2: And yes, JMB was actually born in Emsworth, Hampshire. He gave that as his birthplace in a couple of Census records.

Thank you for all the help. I will check Emsworth, how strange that he was baptised twice in very different places.
I will also get Samuel Salter's will, thanks again.
There are so many lies in Susan's life, John Martin Birom was her son and yet on the probate document it says she had no children - and he is teh creditor!
The possibility of Susan being a Salter hadn't occurred to me - my head is swimming
Thanks for the confirmation about Emsworth as John M Birom's POB, I can't find any records but clearly need to hunt more.
Thank you so much to everyone, this is a lot to being going on with and hopefully will clear up a fee mysteries
