Pat A long shot - possibly worth investigating as dates (more or less) and fathers name fit. IGI has a John PALMER baptised Wellingborough, Notts 26 Jul 1848. Parents given as Isaac PALMER and Elizabeth. Looks like an extraction so probably fairly reliable. A brother, Morris PALMER was baptised Wellingborough 19 Sep 1852., same mother and father. and ...... a John PALMER birth was registered Oct-Dec 1846 Wellingborough ( Ref Vol 15 Page 410). Census and/or baptism records should tell you whether this Isaac was a mason.
