W. M.Author information from the Chambers’s Journal ledger entry for
Evening(published on 22 February 1862), which lists the author as W. Martin, Sanday [?], Orkney (NLS 341/310). The entry for
To a Skylark(published on 10 August 1861), lists the poet as Mr Martin. And the entry for
A Night-Thought(published on 1 February 1868) gives his name as W. Martin and the address as Wellfield Ho., Wingate, Ferry Hill, Durham (NLS 341/310); it is possible this is not the same poet. (AC)
