The Martin Family
Henry Martin was born in Chester, England in about 1852. His wife, Catherine Rogers, was born in Liverpool, England in about 1853.
In 1911, their children were:
Margaret Helen, 34, an assistant to a dentist;
Henry Reginald, 28, a shipyard labourer;
Rosalie Clement (later Bent), 24;
Lilian Adelaide, 22;
Herbert Douglas, 20, a clerk in Cooperative Stores;
Malcolm Bertram, 17, an apprentice turner of some kind in the shipbuilding industry (one word's illegible) [1];
The family was obviously fairly close as Rosalie named her two sons after two of her brothers, Norman and Henry (her second son was Henry Arthur, known as Arthur).
