William Martin 1 - b 1884
I’ve got hold of a birth certificate for William Martin. The similarities with the certificate I have for Katy are clear: same mother and father, born in Lambeth.
- Born on 7 December 1884, 97 East Street, Lambeth
- Father: Frederick Charles Martin (census gives him as Charles), coal porter (his profession as given in 1881 census)
- Mother: Emma Martin, nee Richardson (same as Katy)
- Registration District: Lambeth
- Subdistrict: Lambeth Church 2nd, Surrey
- Date registered: 16 January 1885
East Street appears to have been a narrow alleyway containing poor housing, just of Lambeth Walk.
