Could Someone Please Help to Find Martha Egerton
could anyone please please helpme to find this lady she was my 3xs great grandmother and i dont know
much about her at all.
all that i know is that her fathers name was william ,there is no mention of a wife or mother.
martha was born in 1824 i believe in winsford,over,cheshire,england.
she died in 1911.
i would like to know if she had any siblings please and if her father remarried if he was a widower and to whom.
she married at st chads,over cheshire in 1845,she married a salt worker by the name of Adam Hickson also from over.cheshire,england.
im hoping that there are some descendants out there today because i would like to find some.
thanks for taking the time to read this

Does Martha's marriage certificate give you her fathers occupation?
Do you have the Census records from 1851-1911 for Martha,Adam and family.
i dont have her marriage licence but i do know where they were married and no i dont have the census for them,i do not know what marthas father did for a living im sorry i would love to know also if she had any siblings at all
If you purchase this marriage cert it should tell the father and his occupation.

Martha's death certificate may give further clues, if Walter was the informant he may not have known his mothers exact age.
It would be beneficial to get a copy of the marriage certificate, it should have both Martha's fathers details and also Adams's fathers details. This will give a good starting point to go backward to find both their families.
thank you all so much for all the information given
