Re: Reuben Elliott Palmer
In Response To: Reuben Elliott Palmer ()

In the 1851 Onchan census mentioned by Len, 3 year old Reuben Hastings Palmer has an older brother Francis K Palmer age 12.

In 1861, there's a 22 year old Francis Kent Palmer, draper, boarder in Everton district 22 page 16, born Tipperary.

You say that Reuben Elliot Palmer had a son called Francis Kent Palmer. Did he name his son after his older brother. Does this suggest that Reuben Elliot and Reuben Hastings are the same person ?

In 1851 Reuben Hastings Palmer has a sister Anna Maria Palmer age 4, born Onchan.
