I think you're mixing up Fermoy and Armoy. Probably the best approach is to eliminate areas known to have local Martin families. N Ireland has Martins so I think you could disregard all the entries from Coleraine to Newry. The fact that there are 3 in Dublin tends to suggest that there was also a Martin family there. That leaves just Edenderry, Mountmellick and Dingle. You might be able to eliminate some of those if there are any other Martin marriages (bride or groom) in the late 1910s or early 1920s. -- Ian The Hotmail address is my spam-bin.
