• Notes

  It is theory on my part that Martha's surname was Austin. The only Benjamin I have found in Parish records near West Bromwich, Worcestershire, England married to a Martha is for a Martha Austin. In this record they were both of age. Bens father was James Dimmack, a miner by trade and her father was James Austin, a shoemaker. The trades fit their 1851 census records for the fathers. It should be noted that Martha's place of birth is listed as Madley, Salop, England in the 1851 census and Madley, Shropshire, England in the 1861 census. This is because the town was given to another county by it's owner as it was on the border between 2 fluctuating counties.
