i	● William called his 1^st son James, so it likely that James was the name of one of his close ancestors ● he also gave him Stamp as a middle name, and James also did so with 2 of his sons, so it is likely that Stamp was the surname of one of William’s close female ancestors ● so far it has not been possible to find a marriage between a Stamp and a Martin, or a Newton ● William was a Waterman - see table above ● it is believed he entered the Watermens Almshouses, Penge, Surrey, after 1846^FAM
	● a baptism for an Ann Newton has been found at roughly the correct time and place, daughter of Thomas and Lettice Newton ● a marriage between Thomas Newton and Lettice Patterson has also been found ● the baptism record is not however necessarily that of this Ann Newton, so her parents are only speculation ● Thomas was the name of 1 of William Martin I‘s sons, and the middle name of 2 of William Martin II’s sons ● nothing more is known about her

baptized 9 SEP 1804?, Gravesend, Kent?

died ?

● presumably the name Stamp must be of one of James Stamp’s female ancestors

● he was a Waterman - see table above

● his will, signed FEB 1843?, is difficult to read, but he mentions his children James/Frances(?), Sarah and Emma

● no mention can be found of his wife, so perhaps she died earlier

● there seems to be a codicil or notes, but these are illegible

● no marriage between James Stamp and Frances found between 1810 (when James Stamp would have been 19) and 1812 (the year before the 1^st child was born) at St George, Gravesend, Kent or St Peter & Paul, Milton-next-Gravesend, Kent

● Frances must have died between 1829, the year when her last(?) child was born, and 1835, when James Stamp remarried – so the above burial is likely, especially as her address was given as Terrace, Milton, the same address given in Laura Sarah’s baptism (1837)

● nothing more is known about her

● Mary married (1) 30 APR 1825, St. Nicholas, Rochester, Kent, Richard Cleveland, who died about 1833-4, 5 children

● if this is Alice Gertrude and her daughter Ethel Gertrude C., whilst the names are reversed, this is obviously a Martin family that is connected to the Challis family (they were both listed as “Gertrude” in the 1911 census)

● a Gertrude E. C. Martin married Q3 1916, West Ham, Essex R/D, Thomas B. Collins^BMD, which would confirm the correction to her name in the 1939 Register

● no birth record can be found for a Kathleen Diana Martin, born 25 MAY 1908, which would otherwise show her mother's maiden name

● as Henry Charles and Alice Gertrude stated that they had had a total 3 children by the 1911 census, all alive, the answer could be that “Kathleen Diana, born 26 MAY 1908” is actually “Rosanna Hunter, possibly born 26 MAY1908”!

● Harvey Robert might have transposed his name, and the year of birth is wrong, Ethel’s year of birth is completely wrong, and only Frederick W.’s entry is possibly correct, and the possible death record for Frederick William gives the same date of birth – so this family might or might not be the correct family

NOTES

● as Martin and Arnold are common surnames, these are not all necessarily children of Albert James and Harriet Sarah Helen

● Norman Vernon is, because he was mentioned in his mother’s probate record

● Albert A. C. and Patricia B. are too, as they are listed with Albert James and Harriet Sarah Helen in the 1939 Register

● as in the 1939 Register only 1 person born after 1917 is listed after Patricia B., which will presumably have been their daughter J. E., born 1928, J. A. and T. C. might not have been their children, or else, if they were, they might have been evacuated

● a Margaret Muriel C. Ormerod, born 27 JUN 1904, died JUN 1975, Cheltenham, Glos R/D^BMD, the same place as Margaret’s unmarried sister, Rosanna (Hunter?) died

● there is a corresponding probate record for Margaret Muriel Challis Ormerod, died 23 MAY 1975

● a Margaret M. C. Martin married Q2 1931, West Ham, Essex R/D, Thomas Laurence Ormerod^BMD

● in the 1964 electoral register, Thomas Laurence Ormerod, Margaret M. C. Ormerod, and their son, were all living at the same address^ELECT

● so it is possible that Margaret Martin and Margaret Muriel C. Martin were the same person, and that she married Thomas Laurence Ormerod, although this is obviously all speculation

● Thomas Laurence Ormerod is mentioned on an internet site covering the peerage, but it is not clear what the connection is

● although the death took place in Cheltenham, Glos R/D, the probate record is for “Thomas Laurence Ormerod, St Ronald, 31 Broomhill Road, Woodford Green, Essex”, where their son had been born in 1933, and Thomas Laurence’s address in the 1939 Register
