    Birth of Martha Boyes in lincolnshire about 1807. Mother Martha Boyes, father unknown. Two possibilities are near Surfleet or near Grantham but no records to verify this info.

    Welcome to British-Genealogy forums

    Your post is very short so I am not certain as to what it is you are looking for? Martha, the dau's birth? The father of Martha dau of Martha?
    I did find this record on familysearch.org and wonder if it is the marriage of Martha snr?

    There is a marriage on ancestrys photos and scanned documents which has an image of the original marriage record for a Martha Boyes (Nevitt) at Surfleet Parish Church Register

    George Blackbourn and Martha Boyes Nevitt Marriage
    29 Dec 1825 Location: St Lawrence Parish Church, Surfleet, Lincolnshire, England

    The surname Nevitt/Hewitt could easily be one and the same so it does look as if Martha was raised by her stepfather Thomas Hewitt/Nevitt

    Possibly the only way to try and discover Martha's birth father would be to explore the possibility that her mother applied for relief from the parish and a bastardy bond was sought.
    But having taken a look on https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/bastardycases.html it would appear that it would be too early for a bastardy order to have taken place.

    Nevitt/Hewitt
    or a transcription error

    Check the parish registers for the original entry of the baptism her fathers name maybe entered if known as the Parish wouldn't want to be paying Parish relief if they knew who the father was!
