Hello Sharney,
This is not an easy one to prove as you are looking to find one of Hannah`s mother or fathers sisters marrying a Martin and then having Daniel in c.1820. All before Civil registration and unfortunately Parish records are far from complete online.
Looking back to the 1861 and 1871 census Hannah was married to a James Entwistle. In 1861 they had a daughter aged 11 months called Sarah Rothwell Entwistle and they are living with a Richard Rothwell (beer seller) aged 64 who could be Hannah`s father - no proof although Richard did have a daughter Hannah of the correct age in earlier census. A Hannah Rothwell did marry a James Entwistle in 1857 in Bolton (see www.lancashirebmd.org.uk). This looks the likeliest marriage.
Unfortunately it would be a case of sending for the marriage certificate to prove who her father was and also locating Henry Martin`s marriage to Catherine to find his father and hopefully from there move backwards.
Kind regards,
Maureen
