I realise I have made a mistake.    [Too many hours spent looking at miscellaneous Smiths and Smythes.] Martha was grand-daughter of William White. William White of Newark, (now decd. in 1785) | Ann White marries John Smith of Newark | Martha nee Smith marries Unknown Woodward then moves to Poplar, Mx. ?born early to mid 1700s?... anywhere along the canal routes passing through North Notts. Of course,, Martha could have been married before marrying Woodward, or she could be a Martha White if she had been illegitimate before her parents married... And this is before I toast in the New Year..
