• She was the daughter of William Thorpe and Jane Baker.

• Marriage*: Martha Thorpe married William Langridge, son of John Langridge and Elizabeth Chandler, on 6 September 1807 at Fletching, Sussex, England^B, witnesses John Langridge and Charles Wood. William is of Little Horsted, Martha is of Fletching.¹
• Married Name: As of 6 September 1807, her married name was Langridge.
• Residence: On 7 June 1841 Martha Thorpe and William Langridge lived at Caton's (part of), Fletching, Sussex, England, William is 60 years of age, and Martha 65 years (Ages over 15 were rounded down to the nearest 5 years, over 70 to the nearest 10).²
• Residence*: On 30 March 1851 Martha Thorpe and William Langridge lived at Uckfield Union Workhouse, Uckfield, Sussex, England, Both paupers and both 74 years of age.³
• Anecdote*: Gwen Street of Queensland, Australia writes that "the daughter Jane Langridge was tried and convicted at the Sussex Quarter Sessions Court on 11th April 1834 for the offence of 'stealing a shirt'. She was sentenced to seven years and transported to Sydney, NSW on the ship "Mary", arriving 6th September 1835, aged 27 years, Protestant. The ship carried 177 female prisoners and 26 children. She married Charles BONNELL (Gwen's G-G-Grandfather) at Glendon, NSW on 22 May 1837 and had one son, James Charles BONNELL on 10.12.1837. Jane was widowed the following year when Charles died on 9.12.1838 and it is believed that she later married a Mr. ASTON but no record of this has been found yet. Jane's convict number was 157-158 and she recorded as having a sallow complexion, 5ft 4ins in height, brown/grey hair and brown eyes. She had lost a front upper tooth, had a scar on the back of her left hand and a mole on her left shoulder. Her occupation was "housemaid, 8 months at a public house".
  Jane had a daughter Sophia Henrietta Langridge, born 15.12.1834 (possibly born at sea, or just before she left England) and baptised in Australia on 8.10.1835. She would have been pregnant when convicted at the Sussex Quarter Sessions on 11.4.1834. Sophia died in Newcastle Goal aged 13 months and was buried 6.2.1836 at Christ Church in the NSW County of Northumberland. From Newcastle Goal, Jane must have been assigned to Glendon Estate where she would have met Charles. Charles was with Heneage Finch, the surveyor, until 1837. The surveyor's home, 'Laguna House' at Luskintyre on the River Hunter (127 miles from Sydney), is an historic site and visitors pay to go through it. Jane and her son James Charles Bonnell must have lived in Bonnell's Bay area after Charles’s death. Charles BONNELL was also a convict, having been sentenced to life for stealing a horse in 1824. At the time of their marriage he had a ticket of leave and she was a bonded convict. Their application to marry was found in the Church of England parish register for Newcastle, NSW at Newcastle University". All this information has come from Gwen Street.
• Anecdote: William and Martha's child William Langridge (b. 1817) married Mary Burgess of Buxted in 1852 and had seven sons. They lived all their lives in Fletching. Neil Langridge of Dartford, Kent is a descendent of William and Mary.
• Death*: Martha Thorpe died on 17 June 1858 at Little Horsted, Sussex, England^B, at age 82. She died of old age.⁴
• Anecdote*: Note that Martha's death certificate gives her occupation as "widow of George Langridge, labourer". This is considered to be a mistake and should be William Langridge. The fact that the informant was Mary Jeffery supports the death certificate being the correct one. Her age is given as 84 years and "of Hortsed Green" is recorded on the burial. A possible source for this confusion is that there was a George and Martha Langridge in Fletching, with three of their children being baptised 1853, 1855 and 1857. The child baptised in 1857 (Thomas) has a note "died" on the baptism. It does appear that this Martha Langridge could have died between 1857 and 1868, as the next baptism is to a George and Maria Langridge in 1868.
• Burial*: Martha Thorpe was buried on 20 June 1858 at St Michael & All Angels, Little Horsted, Sussex, England^B, 84 years old, abode Horsted Green.⁵
