Martha Finton b1815 was one of Tony’s patrilineal great great grandmothers. Martha was the daughter of Benjamin Finton and Elizabeth Finton of Great Chesterford, Essex. Martha had two siblings that we are aware of and they were Elizabeth b1808 and Benjamin b1813.
We only have a record for sibling Benjamin, who married Mary Gates ca 1838 and they had four children. The children were Clara b1840, Frederick b1842, Thomas b1844 and Lucy b1846. Mary Gates already had a son Joseph, when she married Benjamin. Joseph was born in 1836, when Mary was aged 19 years.
Martha married James Rider at Great Chesterford on the 24th October 1834 and will continue our story as Martha Rider.
