My apologies for my absence of late health/age to blame. I am back looking at the Palmers of Sussex and hope to make contributions to SFHG soon. I have been fortunate enough to make contact with a gentleman who lives quite close to the places of interest in West Sussex mentioned in documents relating to these Palmers and actually descends through a female line this family being at Upmarden. Looking up Marden on the web I have found interestingly enough that East Marden is in The Hundred of Westbourne and Singleton, Registration District Westbourne and Rural Deanery Boxgrove, all places except Boxgrove being mentioned in documents we have. A cousin has discovered record of Ralph and Elizabeth Palmer of Boxgrove with children named among others Walter and William who seem to fit our William of Stoughton and his brother Walter. William Palmer of Parham had a son Thomas baptised at Boxgrove 1575. Maybe a connection, but I will not count my chickens yet! In appreciation of fellow listers, Lefayre Palmer .
