Hi, looking for anyone who may be connected to Percy Harold Palmer who I believe married Martha and they lived in Wolverhampton around 1930.

Please get in touch if you think there is a connection.

Hi Glenys

He was born in Wolverhampton in Sept 1/4 1901 and lived at 24 Coven Street, Wolverhampton all his life (traced through electoral register). well until 1930...thats as far as I got....can't find his marriage to Martha anywhere so she may have been from somewhere else. I do know that they were not living at the address in 1935 so presumably, they found a place of their own and as his mother was still there.

For some strange reason when I started searching on Ancestry the final quarter of 1921 didn't show any Palmer hits.

So I did a manual search, and lo and behold there he was!

Thanks again Pete

I don't suppose you could find any children to the marriage, I have looked and i still can't find the marriage!!! Don't know why it isn't coming up, I have found Martha's birth record - two of them Sept 1/4 1904 w'ton vol 6b P662 and 6b P611 - don't know why that is either!
