Peter Martin attended the Loncon.
There was a Peter Martin (born 1890) who published a single novel, Summer in Three Thousand: Not a Prophecy, A Parable in 1946. It was reviewed by John C. Craig in Fantasy Review 3
Here is something of a rarity, a British science fiction novel which does not pretend to be anything other than science fiction, though it has a sociological slant. It transports John McCullum into the world of the future while he is on a walking holiday, by the simple expedient of letting him fall asleep and wake up in the year 3000. This device – or, rather, the lack of it – is a little too simple to be convincing. At the risk of being considered pro-gadget, in this case I plead for the time machine!
Was this the same Peter Martin who attended Loncon? It seems like a reasonable assumption but the name is hardly unusual.
