Sir William Henry Palmer

[squeaky]

of Castle Lacken and Summer hill. He was married to Alice Franklin. They had issue, but I can only find one son Roger born 1802, who married Eleanor Matthews. Does anyone know of who the sisters of Roger Palmer were? These Palmer's were large land holders in all of Ireland.  I have heard there are records in Dublin or the Palmer papers.

I am interested in the palmers in Co Antrim specifically near Antrim town itself.  I know that there was a Palmer who died in Mount Cottage there whose father Samuel came from Galway. 

What is interesting is a Chichester palmer who has a child in Summerhill - a small area near Islandbawn/Muckamore just outside antrim - I was wondering how it got its name and if there was any connection between Co Mayo Palmers and Antrim?

Hi
peerage.com makes reference to a Minnie Augusta Palmer- baptised Augusta Mehitabel Palmer born 1807 - daughter of Sir William Henry.
I have interests because Sie W Roger Palmer owned the land around Lacken where my family lived.

Hello Squeaky,

I have a copy of A Dictionary of Irish Biography, edited by Henry Boylan, published by Gill & Macmillan  from the library. I looked for the name Palmer.
I found an earlier Roger Palmer of Castlelackan Co Mayo and Kenure Park, Co. Dublin.

1752 Roger married Eleanor Ambrose. Eleanor (1720-1818) was a daughter of brewer William Ambrose of Co. Dublin. She was a leading beauty at the court
of the Viceroy, Lord Chesterfield, who called her the "only dangerous Papist in Ireland"
1777 Roger was created a Baronet
Roger died before Eleanor who, though left a rich widow, lived in a small lodging in Henry Street, Dublin.... in full possession of her faculties

All the Best, Christopher
