Hi Chloerog

Just checking - you already have the 1891 Census for his wife and children in West Ham where Catherine is described as a deserted wife?
1891: RG12/ Piece 1324/ Folio 114/ Pg 39

Also do you have the first name of his mother, and the name of his father? Was it this family in Kent in 1861 : Parents Mary Ann, and John? 
RG 9 / Piece 397/ Folio 70 / Page 31

Cheers

ARGENTINA:
All of this may be a total co-incidence - but worth examining even if to eliminate:

BAPTISM 1906
http://www.argbrit.org/Barracas/Barracas_bapts.htm
Birth: 26 Jul 1905, Baptism: 27 Dec 1906
Birthplace: Ingeniero White, FCS
Name: George Frederick WHITTAL
Father: Levi
Mother: Ana nee PALMER
Baptised at: Christ Church, Barracas al Norte
Sponsors: George Harris PALMER and Elizabeth PALMER

BIRTHS 1899:
There is a birth in Barracas, Argentina of Ana Harris PALMER in 1899.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9396-XRSB-HD?i=750&cc=1972912
Her father: Jorge H PALMER, English, and mother: Eliza CONEY, English

Ana was listed first. On the same day, was baptised her 3 siblings:
Guillermo Tomas PALMER
Maria Ester PALMER
Flora PALMER

Clearly the Ana PALMER (Mrs WHTTAL) of 1906 cannot be the Ana Harris PALMER born 1905.

Hi chloerog. I have also been trying to find info on George Palmer, he is my wife's Great grandfather.

the family details fit with your info; the story is he went to Argentina (alone), died around 1937 owning lots of land etc. the family were trying to connect with his estate, but the solicitors (in London) was bombed !
I was told that there was a notice in a newspaper around 1937 re his demise & will, but have found nothing so far.  Could you please say why you are interested in GP ?  Any info may be of use !!
