The Martin & Handley families of West Hallam

This is a revised version of the Martin and Handley family line, based on Rev Charles Kerry's theory that Thomas 'Banker' Martin was connected to the Martins of West Hallam.
However, using the work of Jack Hartley, it appears that there were two Thomas Martins in West Hallam at that time; one from Mapperley and the other possibly from Hasland, near Chesterfield.
It now seems likely that the Rev Kerry, like modern researchers, assumed that 'Banker' Martin was from Mapperley, whereas he was more likely to have come from Hasland.

A good example of how not to take anything at face value!
