I am trying to track down a branch of my Palmer family in Selkirkshire.
John Palmer married Jane Brown in 1863 Galashiels.
They had 3 children: Mary Palmer b 1863 Kirkhope; Gideon Palmer b 1865 Kirkhope, and Margaret Palmer b 1866 Kirkhope.
After the death of Jane, John married Ann McKenzie in 1867. They had 6 children: Christina Palmer, b 1867 Kirkhope; Jane Palmer, b1867 Kirkhope; Alexander Palmer b 1869 Kirkhope; John Palmer,b 1869 Kirkhope; Ann Palmer, b 1871 Kirkhope; Margaret Palmer, b 1867 Kirkhope.
Of the first 3, Margaret does not appear on the census at all (that I could find), but her birth appears on the IGI. Cannot find a death for her on SP. Mary lived with an aunt and uncle, but I cannot find her in 1901. Gideon lived with his father, then was in another household as a lodger in 1891. I can't find a marriage or death for him, nor can I find him in 1901.
Ann's children:
Christina only appears on the 1871. Cannot find a death or marriage.
Jane - cannot find her in 1901 or a death or marriage
Alexander - cannot find him in 1901
John - cannot find him in 1891 or 1901
Ann - cannot find her in 1891 or 1901
Margaret - cannot find he r in 1891 or 1901
I would guess the first Margaret died in infancy as her half sister had the same name.
Would appreciate any help finding any of these
Thanks
Julie
