Hi, I have gained this info through various sites but I still cant find Stephen's father William Palmer. I have been told through family members that I have maaged to find that there were travellers in the family but they dont now if it was through the Palmer side or the connellys. Would anyone be able to help as I dont know where else to go and look. Info so far On Stephen Andrew Palmer, Father William Palmer, Spouse Jane Connelly. |

Thank you Moody Blue. Just cant go back to his father William, his mother or his grand parents. Has anyone come across this before ?? . Stephen's wife Jane Connelly, her family came from Ireland. I wonder if Stephens family also come from there?? It is so frustrating :-S |

Yes, it's fairly common in th Traveller community - they have their own rules. His father was a Traveller according to his marriage. Take a look at this site, and if you google it there are others out there: |

Note the year of birth is the same as on the death reference for Stephen A Palmer. |

Do you think that Stephen lied about his age on his marriage cert cos he was much older than Jane? Also on the 1901 census Stephen did not put where he was born so might not of known, also in 1911 the census was filled out by someone else and put the name down as Connlly (Thomas) and year of birth was 1868 the same year as on the death cert. Do you think the family moody blue found in 1881 could be that of Stephen's family?? I dont know how to trace the family through the census records (I have just got a subscription for GR but have never used it before, always used another site) Can someone help me search the above family please |

After going round in circles and not getting anywhere I have came to the conclusion that the above family are not related to my Stephen Palmer. If Stephens father was a stonemason he would have put that on his marriage cert as it is a skill. I am not sure what sort of traveller Stephens father was. I have had a look on the Gypsie sites but cant find the name Palmer anywhere?? |

Do you still have other 'Thread' relating Ellen?, can remember quite a few of us adding Baptisms, Marriages, Burials etc., but no conclusion... |

No I accidently deleted it. I had to copy all the findings that I had saved. All the info above is correct. The name Palmer does not appear to be a "Traveller" surname or related in any way as I have searched the traveller and gypsy sites?? |

Hi, yes that is mine on the other site. I was trying to find out what occupation "Traveller" was. Whether it meant Gypsie or Traveller selling something. Still have came up with nothing. I don't think Stephen was in WW1 as I cant find no record of him. |
