For anyone from or who knows Lancashire! On the 1881 census CD, I have found 4 of my Burwell PALMER families all living at the same address: Reedsholme Buildings, Higher Booths, Lancashire ref: RG11/Piece 4133/Folio 37/Pgs 19 & 23 William, Henry & Louis are brothers; their parents are William & Maria PALMER from Burwell. It looks like they moved en masse to Lancashire to find work, part. as their youngest child, Alfred Edward was born there. Stephen is a cousin of William, Henry & Louis; they are all grandsons of my Gt Gt Gt Grandparents, Stephen PALMER of Burwell and Maria da SILVA of Portugal. So is anyone else researching PALMERS? And where is Higher Booths? I cannot find it in my AA Road Atlas. Would it be near Oldham, as I believe I may have PALMER connections there also!
