Biography
Martha's birth was registered in B'DARA (Boroondara?) Victoria in 1858. She was the daughter of Joseph Brooks and Catherine Mackintosh.[1][2]
In 1888, in Victoria, when she was about 29, she married Thomas Mold (1858-1934).[3][4]
They had 5 children between 1891 and 1901.
Martha passed away in 1932, aged 73.[1]
- MOLD.—On the 2nd September [1932], at Craigie, Martha, the beloved wife of Thomas Mold, and loving mother of Tamzie (Mrs. W. Harse), Catherine (Mrs. R. Cree), Hazel, Martha and Thomas, aged 73 years.[5]
She was buried in Majorca Cemetery, South East of Maryborough.[6] Thomas joined her in 1934.
Research Notes
- Death registration nominates her father as Joseph Brook, and birth registration only has her mother, Catherine MACKINTOSH. This would suggest her parents were not married. I have been unable to find a Mackintosh/Brook marriage. Potter-10870 14:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Martha:

Another Martha was born in 1858 her mother was Catherine Mackintosh with her father not named in record, she was born in B'DARA which may be Boorandara or Camberwell - Vic BDM Reg N'o 9206/1858. This Martha better matches the recorded death age of 73 years in 1932. The names of the Martha Mackintosh - McIntosh - Mold children also match i.e Martha & Catherine but accepted they were common names.

I think the only way to get more info on this is to order a copy of the original image which may reveal more. I would get the birth and death if I were you. You can download them for $22 each from Vic BDM site. I've done some more research and can't figure anything further out. Let me know if you do get them and maybe that info can help sort some things out.
Cheers,

On another matter I have been doing a lot of research on Martha McIntosh - Mackintosh - Mold as her death certificate nominates Catherine Mackintosh as her mother and a Joseph Brooks as her father and sources close to the family also believe same. If this is so, its quite a complex arrangement as Josephs brother George Brooks married Mary Wittick Mackintosh the sister of Catherine and it goes on from there as Catherine later married Andrew Hurse - Harse. Anyway perhaps your DNA results may have Hurse surnames as mine do and the reason for that is likely to be from Catherine McIntosh the grand daughter Lydia Tamzin Mold of Catherine Mackintosh and Joseph Brooks marrying William Alexander Hurse. I trust you are suitably confused as I am/ Cheers Julian
I've had a look at my Ancestry.com DNA but can't find any Hurse's....I'll keep it in mind though. I'm a DNA dummy, so as I learn more, it might help.
Cheers,

This Martha is the daughter of Mary Wittick Mactintosh and George Brooks - Mary Wittick Mackintosh was the sister of Catherine Mackintosh and George Brooks appears to be the brother of Joseph Brooks accordingly both Catherine and Mary wittick Mackintosh had a daughter Martha and both Martha's fathers had the surname Brooks.
