MARTYN Family of St Columb Minor

[BarbaraCM]

Hi Denis,

No, I haven't seen the Martyn tree you mention. I have a digital copy of a scrapbook of Silas Edward's granddaughter Molly Emerson Chaworth-Musters when she writes that a copy of the Martyn tree is with Graham Martyn, 2 Temple Garderns, London.  I haven't tried tracing that yet or figuring which cousin Graham is or where he fits into the Martyns.

Denis, the diary entries are amazing..... Something I never thought I would read.  Thank you so much. Neither Charles nor Henry married...  My husband Bob's ggrandmother, Emily Constance Maryn Emerson, was the youngest, living in variest places including Canada and Japan with her husband who was a doctor. Maybe a reason for Bob's Granny not having any Martyn things or documents that I remember.  I am trying now to remember anything Granny said about the Martyns.

Curious, no baptism record for Silas Edward yet.  Will you let me know about the corrections to M. Eastgate's tree.

I have tried to post photos of Charles and Henry on their ponies in India - the files seem to be to large. 

So nice to hear from you, Denis,  as well as Tim.  Thank you again.

Hi again Denis,

I forgot to ask where the Walker's were living at the time the diaries were written.

Thanks,

Barbara

Barbara,
Denis is the fount of most of the MARTYN info and I'd forgotten that you could see it online.
If you have a look at this page:

http://www.apac16.dsl.pipex.com//tree/fam/Martyn.html#770ML

You'll find John Martyn and Gertude HISCUTT and Silas Edward Martyn (their youngest).


My wife's family is through the LIDDELL line. Further down Denis' Martyn page you'll see that Charles Liddell married an Emma Unknown. That was Emma Jane Anderson BLUETTT. That's the bit of the tree that I can flesh out (though much of it was in India so it's not complete).

Hi Tim,

William H Liddell was my husband's ggrandmother's, Emily Constance Martyn's, godfather.  She was baptized at All Saints Knightsbridge on 21 Sept 1861.

William H Liddell features often in my gggfs' diary - he being a cousin of Gertude's.  He's mainly referred to as William "Excellent" Liddell (after hs ship) to distinguish him from her brother William Byam Liddell who was just a couple of years younger.

Here are my working notes for this family: please treat with caution!
They're from Marianne Eastgate's online tree which includes a few errors, to which I've been adding info from this thread.

I'll welcome any corrections

Denis,
I notice you haven't got Silas Edward down as a son of Thomas Martyn and Sarah Darke so I'll be interested in Diana's reply.
