Just noticed, Raymond, that you say Ellen Newton was born 1821. Surely she would have been too young to give birth to Martha in 1834. Only 13? Update, looking at the 51 census, I think she's 39 not 30. Margaret

Have you checked death index (unless you know she had kids or married after 1851). Have you got her parents on the other census'?
