This is a very interesting and quite detailed article in the Journal of the Pembrokeshire Historical Society. It's written by Gwenllian Awbery, who has worked a lot in the past on the strength and distribution of the Welsh language in Wales. I'm not entirely sure when this was published.........
Note that sometimes we see the spelling "Dimetian" and sometimes "Demetian" -- but you will see from the article that the dialect was quite widely used, and it is not at all beyond the bounds of the possible that a lady such as Martha might have used it as her "private language"..........
