William & Maria PALMER
William PALMER, 8th child and 5th son of Stephen & Maria, was born abt 1826. He was given the
same name as his immediate elder brother who'd died in 1825 at less than a year old.
He was baptised on 8 January 1826 at St. Mary's Church, Burwell.
On the 1841 U.K. Census, William was 15 years old, living at home with his parents in North St., Burwell.
His occupation was "Agricultural Labourer".
On 15 April 1852, William stated his intention to marry Maria Brown - this is recorded in the
"Intention to Marry Register" held at the C.R.O. in Cambridge - and discovered, after much sleuthing,
by Renee PENNINGTON, William & Maria's gt gt grand daughter in August 2002.
William married Maria Brown in abt April/May 1852, possibly at the Register Office in either
Cambridge or Newmarket as Maria was 7 months pregnant with their 1st child, Delphina!
We THINK [Renee & I] that we have found their marriage registration, but neither of us
have sent off for it yet!

My thanks to Renee, again, for all the above baptism dates, culled from the Burwell Parish Registers
held at the C.R.O., Shire Hall, Cambridge. [and soon to be released in transcript form by C.F.H.S.!]

The family moved to Tryon St, Rossendale in 1868 when William [jun] was 14 years old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William & Maria both died under the age of 44 in 1872; Alfred the baby was only 6 weeks old when
his mother died; William died 9 months later.
I assume that they are both buried in Rawtenstall, Lancashire.
