Look up for Herbert William Palmer please

[Mrs.Coppertop]

Could some kind person do a look up for me. I`m trying to trace William Herbert Palmer born about 1899 ( don`t know the area though I assume it may be Cambs ).

He allegedly married Lily Fuller on the 20th October 1920 at Upwell St Peter.

I`ve tried to locate his birth and the marriage on FreeBMD but can find no mention of either

Does anyone have the resources to check and confirm or deny any of these details please.

Many thanks Mrs.Coppertop

From the info given - somebody has a copy of their marriage cert.

How old was Herbert on that cert and what was his fathers name and occupation

Hi CaroleW,

Many thanks for the welcome, your prompt responses and the details enclosed.

Unfortunately I don`t have access to the marriage certificate. The marriage date was written down in a note book.

The only other information I know is that he died in 1968. He had two sisters named Daisy and Beattie but again no further information to ages.

Sorry to be so vague but this information has been passed onto me by an elderly relative.

Many thanks Mrs Coppertop

Hi

Our replies crossed.  The 1901 entry referred to above doesn't have sisters Daisy or Beattie (Beatrice) although they could have been born post-1901

You really need to buy a copy of the 1920 marriage cert as there are a huge number of Herbert Palmers born 1890-1900 on the 1901 census so we need to pin down a birthyear and fathers name to find him in 1901

[CaroleW]

I've had a look at the GRO index for 1968 and there is an entry in the June qtr aged 69 Kings Lynn

Did he die between April & June 1968 in Norfolk?

[Mrs.Coppertop]

Thats got to be him

I believe he was buried in Kings Lynn The ages tie in nicely as does the location.

I`ll ask a few more questions to see if there is any more information to confirm these details.

Many thanks CaroleW for your help so far
