Thank you so much for this ; I had Martha's birth year as 1867 in Spilsby
If the census is right she would only have been 15 when she had William Thomas ....it wasn't a big household afterall ..and the sons were only young .which leaves the head of household's brother Thomas Hayes as the possible father maybe why William was given middle name of Thomas .

Have you looked for her using variants of the surname?

Apparently Martha returned to domestic service and the grandparents brought up young Willie . She had another son Frederick in 1887 and married John Winter Hempstock in 1888 they had a further 2 sons; sydney winter and John Henry(jack) . her husband took the 2nd child on but not Willie . There is a theory that Willie was the son of a member of the BIg house but as I can't find martha davison anywhere on the 1881 census I don't know who else lived there .

I am trying to help a friend find more about her great grandmother Martha Davison .She is on 1871 and 1891 census with her parents Enoch and Jane Davison and some siblings in Spilsby ,lincs . But we'd like to know where she was working in 1881 ;her proffession is given as domestic servant on birth certificate of first son William Thomas in 1883 .
