Do you have Martha's marriage certificate? That's where you really need to start, to see what it says for her father's name. Otherwise you could be tracking the wrong Martha around the censuses!

her age on the census is at her last birthday so at aged 6 she could be having her 7th birthday in 1881 so you should also check for a birth c 1874

yes have found her in 1881 and 1891 with her parents and 1901 with her husband william, she was from grt crosby lancashire parents are from co caven ireland. martha was age 6 in 1881 her mum was widowed age 45 she was a charwoman, i thought the certificate i was getting may be rite as there was only 1 in 1875 but it didnt say her dad was stephen riley and her marrige certificate did?

Hi all, iv just received a birth certificate for a martha riley born 1875 grt crosby, but i think i have got the wrong one, im trying to work out her family who i think is a margaret (1836) and a stephen riley (1823) they were born in ireland co caven stephen i believe was blind and i am unable to locate them before 1871, as i say the birth certificate i think for martha is wrong firstly it gives me diffrent parents and also it says she was born west derby and i cant find another birth for her can anyone help me please, i seem to have loads of irish ancestes now and have no idea where to look. im in the same boat with her husband william pearmans parents
thanks regards bex
