I'm wrong to discount Martha in Lowestoft. I've found the Solomon/Martha Priest family indexed under Preece in 1861, and daughter Martha is living with them. So the Martha in Lowestoft looks like she is the right one after all - sorry Jimmy! Can't remember why I thought she wasn't - obviously i need to take better notes.

I'm sure this is the right family - too many ends tying up for it not to be so. Big thank you to everyone for helping to sort this out. That was the last line in my friend's tree, all sorted now.
