I was a Martin! I don't think there is a connection though as my great grandfather, Robert Martin, was born in Soham, Cambs in 1875. He was a journeyman by trade and moved to Rawtenstall around the turn of the century. He died in Accrington aged around 92, the Plantation Street area, I think. I remember him being part of the family when I was a child as well as attending his ninetieth birthday celebrations. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to outlive Churchill, his great ambition. Bless him!!

I reckon your holiday just went out the window!
