Most of the material on the Martins comes from Glenis Crocker, with
help from Robyn Lawther and Helen
Millward. Glenis's material prepared for the Martin reunion she
organised has been quoted directly here. They have traced the family
back to the 16th century, by a lot of detective work on old wills.
