James and Mary are my ancestors too.

I just found out that James Ludkin was the son of John Ludkin and Mary Wretham who married in Illington, Norfolk on 2 June 1799. James was baptised in Illington on 27 November 1803. In the 1851 Census his place of birth was given as Ellington, Norfolk, clearly mis-spelt.

Does anyone know anything about James' wife Mary Palmer, born 1806 in Fordham, Cambridgeshire, married 25 September 1822?

It is possible that Thomas Palmer is still alive in 1841 Census.
He may have remarried.

Of course finding all the Children of Thomas/Mary and a Marriage would confirm if this Thomas was of the right age.
