She could have married his brother or cousin first then became a widow and when she remarried she would have used her married name instead of maiden name, if you follow me. I got several of those in my tree. - just a thought

Hayton is certainly a Cumberland name - I think two villages up there are called Hayton and I had a great-aunt marry a Hayton in Whitehaven. Re: Martin - I think that is more likely her mother's (or grandmother's) maiden name rather than her own.

Just got back from a weekend away and noticed all the extra input on the thread!! Thank you! I nearly got excited there Sleepy Jo because if your Ayton had been a surname, you would have been the first person to maybe have a connection with my tree! Never mind! Thank you Geoff for the Hayton/Whitehaven connection - I think I'll file the IGI birth index for Robinson under 'possible'. Helen:-)
