Title: John Henry PALMER
Post by: misskim on Sunday 27 November 05 08:12 GMT (UK)

Hi All

My ggfather, John Henry PALMER, was born in 1868 in Gateshead Durham.
In 1888 he married Elizabeth OUTHWAITE.

I'm interested to find out who his parents were.

I know his father was William PALMER.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Regards
KIM- AUSTRALIA

Thanks for the response but I think we could be a few years off.

Would you mind looking up if there is a William Palmer born in about 1844 in Gateshead.

I think he could've married an Elizabeth.

I don't believe they moved to Hartlepool until many years later.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks - KIM

Hi Kim,

It's Karen. I found a William Palmer b. 1846 in Durham Central - not sure if that's Gateshead or not.
