You can also buy m.certs from the local RO. Some have their indices online. Looking up Martha 1864 in the local index gives:

Cheshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1861 to 1865
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
WALTERS Martha M COOPER John Birkenhead, St John Wirral BK6/1/45

That's what I also think about the marriage Janice.

I couldn't find a Martha/Thomas together in 1871, I couldn't open the image either for Martha.

Jean, I realise that Wirral and Birkenhead are now classed the same but the 2 people marrying have to have the same District, volume and page no to have married each other.

All the census details I posted fit with her marrying John Cooper, but you will only know for certain by getting her marriage cert.

I cannot open the original image page for Walters on freebmd or Ancestry(only opens images from surname begining "Wh" nothing before that)
Looked at original image for Littlemore and think it should say page 507 not 517 so putting in vol. page year and quarter into freebmd you get a page with 3 names


Marriages Mar 1864

Atherton James Wirral 8a 507
Pollard Martha Wirral 8a 507
Taylor Margaret Wirral 8a 507
I think Thomas Littlemore maybe the missing one here and that if someone has found a Thomas/Martha on a census then it maybe the Martha above.
I think the Walters /Cooper link is the most likely

If you are going to buy the marriage cert for Martha, request it with her details and ref no.

She didn't marry Thomas Littlemore.
He married in wirral district and the ref no is given wrong on Free BMD it should be 507 for him not 517.

Is it the Walters family you are interested in?

Can I ask how you thought that Martha married Thomas Littlemore?

As I said earlier, the marriage for martha is Birkenhead district and Thomas Littlemore is Wirral.

The census details I have found seem to point to Martha marrying John Cooper but to be certain you need to buy the certificate.
