Thank you both - especially for pointing out the fact that there were two William and Emma Palmers.
Mine is definitely the baker at 410 Gloucester Road.
It is a coincidence that both the Emma Palmers were the same age.
So that means I am still looking to see what happened to both William and Emma.
He was born in 1844 in Raddington, Somerset and she was born in 1839 in Wootton Courtenay Somerset.
I have last trace of them in 1901.
The plot thickens a bit becasue I am also looking for their son William Henry Palmer born 1879 Templeton Devon.
I have last record of him in 1911 at 1 Littleton Street, Easton Bristol. He was also a baker.
In 1911 William Henry's wife Eleanor was in hosptial and their 5 children were being looked after by relatives.
I have traced all the children subsequently - also Eleanor who was my great grandmother - but I do not know what happened to William Henry - or his father.
I would love to find out to tell my mother who was never told anything about her grandfather. Her grandmother Eleanor never mentioned him.
I am assuming William (the elder) died between 1901 and 1911, and William Henry (the younger) died between 1911 and 1920.
