You will have to bear with me folks I am swimming in paper notes here and its getting on for midnight so I will have to call it a day soon.
Where did you get the info that Emmanuel's wife was a Palmer ?
I have Philips birth cert b 1854 Father Emmanuel Mother Susannah Phillips formerly Palmer and Jacobs (John) in 1859 saying the same.
On Phillips it says father was a General Dealer on Jacobs it says Greengrocer.
These ages both tie up with them on the 1871 Census. where there is also a Catherine, obviously named after the grandmother.
.
The marriage that I thought might be John is on th IGI John Phillips to Mary Ann Lamond 16.8.1852 St. Dunstans, Stepney.
Found what might be them in 1881 RG11/0411/122/73 he is a General Dealer
b Whitechapel
If I could find his marriage it would also help.
I will have to go now, thank you so much everyone for all you help, your amazing.
Thank you Patrish.
