Per company records, Mr Julian Martin's full name is Julian John Patrick Martin. There was an article about his late wife, Mrs Patricia D "Wishy" Martin, née Connolly (1953-2010), on page 24 of the Dungarvan Observer newspaper's 26th January 2018 edition - see https://issuu.com/dungarvanobserver/docs/dungarvan-observer-26-1-2018-editio/24.

Mrs Martin's death notice, along with other family announcements from the Irish Times, can be found at https://notices.irishtimes.com/?_fstatus=search;keywords=MARTIN%20Wishy.

As per the article from the Dungarvan Observer, Mrs Martin was firstly married to Peter J S Huskinson in 1973 (registered Q3 - St Pancras); her second marriage to Julian J P Martin was registered at Haverfordwest in 1984. As per her death notice, she had two sons from her first marriage and a son and a daughter (Miss Alice Martin) from her second.

Mrs Martin's first husband, Peter John Stephen Huskinson, who was born in 1946 (registered Q2 - Stepney) was the third and youngest son of the first class cricketer, Geoffrey Neville Bayley Huskinson (1 II 1900 - 17 VI 1982) and his wife Carmen Imogen De Las Casas, the daughter of a Spanish nobleman from Cuba, who were married in 1934 (registered Q3 - Taunton). His eldest brother, Geoffrey Mark Clement Huskinson (25 IX 1935 - 8 III 2018) was also briefly a first class cricketer, but was mainly known as a cartoonist. Their only sister, (Joan) Imogen M Skirving (Q4 1937 - 1 VII 2016), turned the family home, Langar Hall, into an award-winning country house hotel. Thomas Bayley (3 VI 1846 - 11 III 1906), MP (Liberal) for Chesterfield from 1892 to 1906, was G N B Huskinson's maternal grandfather.

A genealogy of the Huskinson family can be found on the internet at https://estatedocbox.com/Architects/76324740-Descendants-of-richard-huskynson.html. It does, however, contain inaccuracies, particularly around dates of birth and marriage.

Ivana on nobiliana.de reports that the couple planned to get married on 4 July 2020 citing weddingshop.com.  Whether or not the wedding did go ahead in the current situation is another matter - perhaps those proficient on social media could find out?
