Martha Gunn - dipper -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Gunn

The WIKI item includes a picture Martha with a child in her arms. I'd spotted early mention of it and found it up for sale "... for ready money only ... on 17 January 1799 according to "J. Todd's Print Catalogue" of the time - see snippet.

The Hull Advertiser, 17 May 1806, has it in the possession of The Prince of Wales.

It does appear as though her birth is probably being based on newspaper reports and not parish registers.   

Bellou, what evidence do you have that she was born 1725/6.

In fairness the burial record (8 May 1815, death on 2May 1815) also lists her age as being 88 but I think this is probably inaccurate too!  :-)

Last child of Stephen and Martha Gunn may be Elizabeth Brappel, baptised 7 April 1774

Even if Elizabeth was baptised a little late, it does seem the idea of a 1726 birth for Martha is a bit of a stretch.
