We discovered Henry Martin (7) from Henry Martin (6)'s birth record, which also disclosed that he was married to Mary Adie. This led me to Henry and Mary's marriage proclamation on which Henry's actual name is given as "Hendry Marton". This different spelling is not a concern - different spellings crop up often, particularly as we delve further back in time. Also, the fact he is marrying Mary Adie is pretty conclusive, that not being a common surname. Finally, the place of marriage is Alloa, where Henry Martin (6) was born

born July 31st and baptized 16th Aug't 1807"

20th May 1821

Henry's son, Charles, was born in Alloa. I have not yet obtained the actual record, but got the summary from ScotlandsPeople. In this case, the mother's name was given as Mary Eadie rather than 'Adie', but I suspect this is merely different recorders writing differently what they heard.

4th September 1825

Henry's son, David, was born in Alloa. I have not yet obtained the actual record, but got the summary from ScotlandsPeople. Again, the mother's name was given as Mary Eadie rather than 'Adie', but I suspect this is merely different recorders writing differently what they heard.

Henry' son, Henry (6), married Elizabeth McIntyre in Glasgow. The actual entry read:-

"Henry Martin Shoemaker of Glasgow and Elizabeth McIntyre residing there married 17th December. Dr. Duncan McFarlan one of the ministers of Glasgow."

1841 Census

Henry Martin (7) is recorded in the Census as living at 'Old Market' in the Parish of Alloa. He was aged 55 and was employed as an Agricultural Labourer, The age does not quite accord with his date of birth, being a couple of years out, but I'm not worried about that - the enumerator might have heard it wrongly, or Henry might not have been sure of his exact age.

Living with Henry were his wife, Mary, also aged 55, his sons Thomas (20), David (15) and Daniel (11) and his daughter, Catherine (15). Thomas was also employed as an Agricultural Labourer. Interestingly, Mary is shown as not having been born in Scotland.

24th September 1852

Henry's son, Henry (6), died not long after his daughter, Jean, got married. The cause of death is given as "4 Apoplexy". The death is on a burial record and not a statutory record, so details are different. What we can say is that Henry was 44 and that no occupation was recorded. The address given as his residence is 41 Nicholas Street, Glasgow. Other useful pieces of information are that he was buried on 27th September in the 'Old' churchyard and that there were 2 ushers in attendance; that the funeral cost the shillings and moving his gravestone cost two shillings.
