thank you all for the replys you have helped a great deal. My father has been dead since 1972 but I thought he mentioned tha t his ancestors were from Scotland, but I think this is wrong. What you have put here Ann is that Edward was from Ireland. Also they were all gun makers., Until my granddad who was a lighterman. He drowned and was not found for three months stuck underneath the barge.

re edward martin 1872 Yes I am. Alexander born 1831 , Alex 1856 alex 1881/2 my dad was born in Stepney which is where a lot of the martins came from. My dads brother was Alexander ,which the name has gone through the generation. regards christine

Are you descended from Alexander?

I'm struggling to find any of the family born/baptised in Whitechapel ...
