According to the online tree which cites her birth certificate, Martha was the daughter of Elizabeth POVEY, who was unmarried at the time of Martha's birth.  Elizabeth subsequently married Herbert George HEWITT in 1880.   

The Australian birth index also gives Martha's mother as Elizabeth POVEY.

Thank you so much for this information.   I couldn't find any of that, even with BDM.   Makes a whole lot more sense now.   Many thanks.

Is it possible to find out the family tree you have cited to me please?  I searched roots web, ancestry and family search, but didn't find out this information.  Thanks

James Povey and Eliza Phillipa Jennings had a daughter Elizabeth Povey 1849-1931. In 1880 Elizabeth married Herbert George Hewitt, however prior to marrying Mr Hewitt she had a daughter Martha 1876-1923. This Martha was married to Edward Charles Fleer 1873-1953. They had at least 9 children.

James and Eliza had another daughter called Martha 1847-1923 (both Marthas died the same year). This Martha married Thomas Brown in 1870. They had 8 children.

My connection  is that after Martha ( married to Mr Fleer ) died he the married Rubena Webb Pryor, who is a relative of my great grand aunt

Thank you for your information.  It is basically what I have come to learn too.  I have lots of information about the Fleerfamily if you need any time.  My husband is the son of Leonard George Fleer, who was the son of Edward Charles Fleer.  My husband's paternal Grandmother was Martha Povey (Fleer).  I believe somewhere I have some photos with Rubina but it may take some time to find them.  Do you live in Victoria, Australia?

Cheers,
