Hello,

Alice Maud PALMER b. abt 1853 Somerset

father = James possibly and mother = ?

I'd like a look up for Alice please in 1861, 1871 and 1881.


Alice married in NSW in 1885 - register says spinster aged 32 born Taunton.

Seems there is a router down on the route between my ISP and FS site.

Regards,

Dave

Hello Barbara,

Thank you very much.

The marriage entry in the register had no mother listed and no occupation for James. The entry was easy to read so I'm sure it says Alice Maud and Taunton and father = James.

So far I have no death and no arrival in Australia for Alice.

I've had no access to FS for 3 days. :rolleyes:

Perhaps she put her age up because her spouse was a widower aged 60.

Regards,

Dave

Barbara, please check 1891 and I hope you don't find that one. :)

I've done all the usual and not so usual checks and I've come to the conclusion it's not me or my ISP but some router failure in California.

I ruled out the one that fitted for age because it was RD Frome and now I can't find one around 1859 in RD Taunton.

Well, not as PALMER. :2fun: This is a connection to the LEWTON/LEAR/HODGES/WILMOTT mob where many births and marriages were under the mother's family name. :eek:

There is this one:

Births Dec 1859
COOPER Alice Maud Mary Taunton 5c 428

possible
Marriages Sep 1839
BENNETTS James Taunton 10 588
BESS Ann Taunton 10 588
BOWDEN Mary Hannah Taunton 10 588
CULLIN Nicholas Taunton 10 588
PALMER James Taunton 10 588
Stephens William Taunton 10 588
Tolhan Elizabeth Taunton 10 588
Trout Mary Ann Taunton 10 588

work gets in the way of genealogy at times:D

She is not there in 1891 so looks like she is your Alice unless she is there married of course!

Thanks Barbara.

It possible Alice pretended to be older when she married.

A bit curious only some of the birth reg seem to be there.

I've got access to FS again.
