Martha Sargeant
- Born: Apr 1796, Sefton Liverpool Lancs 15
- Marriage (1): John Meadows
- Died: 5 Jan 1865, Netherton Liverpool Lancs aged 68 15
 Birth Notes:
Unmarried when James Sargeant was born in 1838. Martha "Sergent" married John Melling in St. Nicholas Church, Liverpool on 6/11/1842, confirmed to be her as father was James "Sergent".
The only birth record for the right time frame is Martha Serjeant, baptised Sefton, 17/4/1796, parents James Serjeant and Ann. That would have made her 42 at the time of James' birth, confirmed by age on 1841 Census.
Also from The National Archives, all Sefton:
29/3/1816: Order of filiation and maintenance of bastard daughter of John Cross, servant, and Martha Serjeant, singlewoman
23/6/1823: Order of filiation and maintenance of bastard daughter of James Abbay of Liverpool, labourer, and Martha Sargeant, singlewoman

These may have been siblings of James!
