I have a census record printout for Hannah M Martin, unmarried, 19, a servant (nursemaid), born Oxfordshire, Hook Norton, HO107/1574, folio 176 (Just could be 178. Print is poor.), page 8. It is Lambeth parish.
This is the record that I believe I mentioned. It could explain her absence from the family census report preceding her 1857 marriage. If this is her, she was already using the surname Martin.
I tend to believe the idea that her birth was illegitimate. Not sure where her made-up father’s name came from.
Sorry for any typos. I am using an iPad to dash off a note after supper. They aren’t the best for this sort of thing, but I felt I owed a quick response to all of you who have been so quick to help me with this.

Yes I am thinking that Hannah is the illegitimate dau of Mary Martin then her mother married John Garrett and Hannah appeared under his surname in the 1841 census. Then for some reason she took on her mother's maiden name of Martin between 1841 and 1851 and appears in the 1851 census as Hannah Martin servant of Hooks Norton.
Maybe she and her stepfather didn't get on or maybe she was told sometime between 1841 -1851 that he wasn't her birth father so she changed her name.
Why she gave her father's name as John Martin on the marriage could be as said earlier - to save face.
BUT the Hannah Garrett on the 1841 census is only 2 years old so born c1838/9 whereas the baptism we found gives her baptism as Feb 1833. So in 1841 she should be 7 or 8 which would match with the 1861 census age of 27

Thanks, Christina. I need to get down to the library so I can access Ancestry and walk my way through the various items mentioned. There may be free resources on the web for this area of England, but I’m not yet that familiar with what is out there.

I am going to crawl in a corner and weep. This can't be the Hannah Garrett in the 1841 census because she is O years of age at her death in Dec 1/4 1851 Banbury registration district. There are plenty of deaths for Hannah Garretts but not in the right reg dist.

I use Ancesrty as I have a sub but also use Family Search.
The 1851 Census with Hannah M Martin I found on Family Search and the Baptisim I found on Ancestry with all the other Census records and marriage.
