    • Notes 
      • I have traced the Palmer line back to William Palmer who died 27 April 1720. Born unknown. He married Mary Sadler 7 Oct 1677 in Lambourne, Berks. Children:-
        Mary, William. James. Thoms, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, John.
        Lived at Pound Farm & Youngs Farm, manor of Maidencourt.
        Could have been born 21 May 1637. Looking for further information and possible connection to Sir Geoffrey Palmer of Carlton Curlieu, Leics as documents in Reading RO confirm he owned the Manor of Maiden Court c 1600.
