ErikaH, as a child I used to take books from my Father to the man I called Martin for swaps. This man was the husband of my aunt Ethel, who was Mother of my cousin Mary and her sister and brothers.
I'm willing to admit Martin may not have been his name, but that's what we called him.
Mary's eldest son is named Martin, presumably after his GF

Could this be some sort of explanation?

Forgive my asking, but have you done any research to back up the above statement?

I put the name Martin Gustard in the boxes on freebmd and there were NO results

Janet Atkinson my GM, died of bowel cancer in 1945.

Her funeral, embalming, hearse and other car, interment in All Saints Cemetery and notice in the local newspaper £24 - 10 shillings.
I had the CWS receipt. You could pay that for a bouquet these days.

Re Dorothy and Richard Saints , they are both registered as having mother's maiden name Walker. So mother was definitely Ellen Walker.

Archibald Saints had been a sailor / mariner from Bermuda. I'm just going off long ago memory here. Think and Nellie separated. Nellie died in hospital.

Interesting Nyx My aunt May and Uncle John and John jr lived at 200 Portland Road with my parents and GF when I was a child (post 1945)

The surname for Nellie and Margaret M is definitely Walker,

Marriages Mar 1939 (>99%)

Walker Margaret M Wharton Newcastle T. 10b 151
Wharton John Walker Newcastle T. 10b 151

the birth of the Wharton son in 1939 confirms it ( see freebmd) and the marriage of Nellie ( Ellen) to Saints ditto

Saints Joseph A A Walker Newcastle 3b 71

Joseph's middle name Archibald?

So somewhere /how there is a connection between these girls and your mother and the Atkinsons...but what it is I am not sure!?

Possibly??

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
