Fred Martin & Albert Martin Brothers

[Lorri Stute]

Hi Lucy thanks again I will being checking those out as soon as I get done working. and Albert has been in NZ but I dont know for how long I think he might have gone with his middle name I am assuming it was Alfred just by what I have found here, havent found a whole lot just a census from 1885.

Albert MARTIN

Very possibly he was in New Zealand (but probably only for a short time ? )

I've looked in all sorts of places for him (eliminating others of the same name along the way).
He doesn't seem to have gone to Australia either.     So I think your follow up of US records is probably the way to go.   

Only one other Albert MARTIN who died in NZ, had a birth year of c. 1859-60 ( we've of course already ruled out the Albert who was a surgeon and died in 1917).

[An Albert MARTIN - 67 years [bc 1860] died at Dunedin, NZ, in 1927 and is buried with his wife Laura.  Fortunately there was a marriage notice for the couple in 1893, which revealed he was the son of a Robert MARTIN, of Kent, England.    So NOT your man.   ]

Hi Lorri

That's okay ... happy to have helped. 

Just meant to ask, did you ever find the MARTIN boys on the 1871 UK census

I can see (what I think is) Jesse, the father in 1871 (widower), a lodger living in the household of a Mary HOLLAND ?

*  Were the sons in a school or some kind of institution before they went off to Canada ??

I have to go for a bit I will tell you what I have found on them when I get back I think you will be quite amazed

[Lucy2]

Great .... look forward to hearing further. 

I'm just logging off now too.

Just another record you might want to view (perhaps there's correspondence on this file ? ) is the WW1 Army file for Cyril.

The file has been digitised and is available for viewing on the Archives New Zealand website "Archway".

http://archway.archives.govt.nz

In search box type in "Cyril Jesse Gibson MARTIN".

Lu, I think I already told you about the way they went to Canada thru the British home children homes. I did find a 1871 census that there sister Mary Ann she was in the home of her grandmother, but I never did find a 1871 census with the brothers so maybe they were on the streets or with another relative, but I dont think so, if they were why would they have gone to the Macpherson home. will do some more research or maybe Thomas's line might know something, when I find out will let you know.  Thank you again for all your help.  Lorri
