Thank you Merry for chasing all these Martins while I had a lovely time watching the musical Beautiful, the Carol King story !
These Martins/Manns seem as mysterious as my William and Elizabeth ! They are probably related somehow, as before the late 18th century, Brighthelmston was a very small town.
There is also a John Martin, born about 1800 who married Mary Ann Aiken (or Atkins or Akines, depending) who is a part of the LINN family I am also researching.
He may or may not be part of a set of triplets baptised in 1803.
I have never found very much on the Martins in Brighton and wonder if they were from somewhere else. Although my other families appear to go back more generations in the town.
