Good Evening Everyone , I am looking for any information on the Palmer family from the Essex area.
Here is what I know about them >
John Palmer born about 1779 died 6-30-1856 in Writtle , England
His son was > Samuel Palmer born 1-19-1817 in Writtle , England . Died 1895 in England
Samuel was married to Mary Newman 3-14-1841 in Essex , England
Mary Newman was born > 4-12-1818 I think around Essex and she passed away 11-14-1902 in England
They had the following children :
William B Palmer born 11-16-1848 born in Margaretting
or Ingatestone
Mary born : about 1843 in Margaretting
Elizabeth : 7-13-1844
Thomas born 1852 died : 1861
Samuel born : 1855 died 1861
John born 1860
I believe the family lived in Margaretting in 1861.
I know William came to the U.S in 1856 I think maybe through Canada with a George Houghton.
I know for a period of time they lived in Missouri and then went by wagon train to Oregon , where William was a brick and stone mason.
I am looking for any information you may have on this family. I thank you most kindly in advance for all your kind help. I will be very glad to share all that I have in return. My only wish is that I could come to Essex to see where they lived.

Hi
Saw your query about John Palmer and family...I too am trying to trace John Palmer...but a different family : he was born in 1814 (southern England) married an Elizabeth: b. 1820, had a son: William: c 1839 and also James : b Feb 26, 1844.......they moved to Canada .........in 1856
I note that your William emigrated in 1856 also.--to Us through Canada.
I haven't been able to find any information on the ship they travelled on.
Did you happen to find any?
Look forward to your reply...Harpham..in Canada
