Born: Died: 21 Jan 1826 Married: James Carlton Mother: Father: Descendant: William Carrington


Martha Oliver is so far just notable for producing William Carrington in Holkham.

She married James Carlton (alias Carrington) on 21st January 1789 in Little Walsingham. Both were unmarried and of this parish. The witnesses were Thomas Martin Dennes/Downes and John Creed (the latter witnessed many weddings).

One Martha Oliver was baptized in a village close to Little Walsingham called South Creake, Norfolk in 17 Jan 1762. Her father was listed as James (Jas.) Oliver and her mother as Amy.

She died on the 21st January 1826 aged 64 in Holkham, Norfolk, and was buried on the 25th January 1826 in the churchyard of St Withburga, Holkham Hall, in plot 73.

She had at least seven children:

Their son John went on to marry Sarah Ann Lovell (well at least a Sarah Ann whose niece was Mary Ann Lovell), and they had a son called William. They were living in Staithe, Holkham, Walsingham in 1841.

Sarah Ann Lovell was one of the witnesses at William (John's brother) Carrington's wedding in 1822. So she must have either married his elder brother later, or signed her maiden name.
