Palmers of Glapthorn

Patricia Cunningham from Australia contacted me again after 10 years to say she had a photo of Louisa Palmer and her two daughters Mary Jane and Elizabeth. Louisa is the authors GGAunt, born in 1830. The family tree for the photo is shown below, which fits into the Author's PALMER tree further below.

I hope this finds you this time. I hope you remember me. It's been 10 years since we last had contact and you started me off in my research of Palmers.(Patricia Cunningham) gg granddaughter of Louisa Palmer. I tried your old email and even got in touch with the man at the GENUKI web site where you had some pages on Glapthorn. He had no idea how to get you. I found your mums name through genes reunited and a guy researching had her name and gave me your web page . So I checked it out and was thrilled to bits to have found you. I hope the last 10 years have treated you well. As I said I hope this finds you
Best Wishes Trish

Patricia Cunningham writes again:
I saw your Wirksworth site and am very impressed . I have a few photos I received from Leonard Atha grandson of Mary Jane Palmer .I have a tree on genes reunited and he found me there and sent pics about 2 weeks ago. I was thrilled because there is one of Louisa and Lizzie Isabella and Mary Jane. Some of Glapthorn Hay making and some he has no idea who they are. So I will forward them to you . I have had a few people tell me I am wrong in Daniel Palmer bn 1799 son of John Palmer and Jane Cannam. They are saying he was Daniel/David son of Daniel Palmer bn1 757 and Mary Unknown. I think they got that from the Latter Day Saints Web site. I told them you researched it all and I'm not changing it. I did go to try and find the Parish film I had on it at the church but they couldn't find it after all these years. I stopped doing this when my grandchildren came along and started a few months ago when I finally got my computer. Anyway pic 1 L-R Mary Jane Louisa and Lizzie. Pic2 Haymaking at Glapthorn. I will send more in another email because I'm still not sure what I'm doing.
Best Wishes Trish

Patricia Cunningham writes again:
This is the photo of Mary Jane's husband William Underwood bn Glapthorn 1858. He is 1st right bottom row. They were sent to me by Leonard Atha their grandson. I'm going to let him know you have put them on the site. The other is Lizzie and daughter Lillian Stainley. I may have sent this in the 90's to you can't remember. I don't know dates sorry.

Mum thinks this is in Glapthorn but cannot be 100% sure.

I sent some more picture but they mustn't have gone through .I will try again. That Vivien Gray is the woman who told me I was wrong about Daniel. I have come across a couple of others who have the same as me. So I think she may be wrong but I'm not changing it. I will recheck the parish records. Yes I live in South Australia. My mum was a Ward from Southwick Her mum Florence Palmer Illegitimate daughter of Lizzie Isabella.Mum is 88 now and Dad 84 and they live in my back yard in a granny flat. I have a few dates for you. I believe Louisa died 1916. Soloman 1894. Mary Jane 1937 Yorkshire. Lizzie Yorkshire 1947. Thomas baptised 20/1/1797 died 22/4/1879. His wife Jane nee Burbidge died 17/4/1889.Louisa's side Daniel bn 1799 died 1876 Rainey 30/7/1860. John (Swan) died 1854 his wife Jane died 11/2/1851. Suzannah bn 1730 died Cottingham 1788. I believe I got some of these from you so you probably know them. I will forward some more photos for you in case the others didn't make it. Now I'm going to look at your web page. Thankyou for putting the photos in I have no idea how to go about that sort of thing.
