Hi Patricia,

A check of subscription site -  www.rootsireland.ie -  did not show up any Maria or Mary Sexton for January 1835 with a father named Martin Sexton.

There is a marriage record for a Martin Sexton in 1845 in Miltown Malbay area and a land Valuation for another Martin Sexton in East Co. Clare taken early 1850's. While there are almost 150 holdings named "Sexton" in the County, only one is named Martin. It is also possible that your "Martin Sexton" could be a son of one of the holders.

Can you supply any more information?
