George Palmer parents

[pidge1990]

Hi,

I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather George Palmer's (1901-1958 ) parents who I believe are Elizabeth Catherine Gorman born 1874 and died 1954. His father is James Palmer, but I have no birth date or death date.

James Palmer was a pilot station keeper on Morton Island in Queensland.

Any information on James Palmer would be helpful.

Hello Sarah,


Death 1954/B4740 Elizabeth Catherine Palmer - Daniel Gorman - Johannah Hayes

Death 1958/B24635 George Elliott Palmer - James - Elizabeth Catherine Gorman


Marriage 1891/C1474 Gorman Elizabeth Catherine - Palmer James

Would you like the full dates or do you have them already?

Always best to start here and work backwards. I'll search some more.

Regards,

Dave

Birth 1875/C2188 Elizabeth Catherine Gorman - Daniel - Hannah Hayes

Can't tell at the moment but that could be December 1874. But I can get the date if you need it.

Marriage 1864/B0974 Gorman Daniel - Hayes Johanna


This is perhaps the last born in Qld.

1910/B23979 Edwin Griffiths Palmer - James - Elizabeth Catherine Gorman

We need someone with access to the full Electoral Roll and not just the index to see up to what date a James is living with Elizabeth Catherine.

Elizabeth Catherine Palmer 1954 Queensland Petrie

James Palmer 1954 Queensland Petrie

That could be James senior or junior. We need the Sub-Division, address and occupation.

Birth 1893/C01528 James Palmer - James - Elizabeth Catherine Gorman

Death 1958/B24095 James Palmer - James - Elizabeth Catherine Gorman


I hope an occupation in the Electoral Rolls will at least give us a year range for a death for James.

I can't find a tree that helps and too many possible deaths in the index without more to work with.

That looks good, gibbo.

The E/R should confirm it.

Thank you for you help.

George Palmer's parents marriage record for 1891. I have James Palmer living in Bulwer in 1905 with Elizabeth Catherine Gorman. They then move to Morten Island in 1908. I have both of them living at Morten Island until 1925. This from the Australian Electoral Rolls.
