• Didn't find anything on probatesearch.service.gov.uk with this name; may have died intestate.
• Outside of some mentions connecting her to the family of Thomas Carlyle and Jane Welsh Carlyle (1, 2, 3), and ATCL providing floruit years 1803-1878, I'm not finding much of substance.

@Billinghurst: Any chance you can find more than what I was able to? ミラP@Miraclepine 05:33, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Doesn't seem to be much more there. That would tend to indicate that probably Irish records, which are icky. No English or Scottish census records — billinghurst sDrewth 13:40, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: Thanks. And just to be safe: did you also check under "Martha Lamont"? ミラP@Miraclepine 14:54, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Trust me, my searches covered the wide range of possibilities. With such an inveterate travel, she probably only stopped travelling and set down roots when her little legs stopped all exploits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — billinghurst sDrewth 21:19, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: Thank you. I'll particularly keep that first sentence in mind in the future. ミラP@Miraclepine 21:24, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
