Just been looking in detail at the census. The eldest child is 17, this would suggest its John's 2nd marriage or Martha's second marriage where the children have taken the surname name of John. It could also be a mix of John and Martha's children from a privious marraige.

Hi,
Thankyou Noggin28 and welshlady for your look ups, It's very much appreciated.I did think Martha had a previous marriage being that she was 49 when she married John.
