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

[/URL] 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 [url]http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/bastardycases.html (http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/pt/ViewPhoto.aspx?tid=123296&pid=-1954122813&iid=915e84c1-c5d2-4981-af93-af85b3def2b3&src=search) 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!
