William Henry Palmer born Mar 1909 St Olave Bermondsey
« on: Wednesday 28 February 24 12:37 GMT (UK) »
The above was the son of Benjamin James Palmer 1876-1962 and Anne or Annie Rosser 1879-1926. He appeared on the 1921 Census with his parents at 16 Gardner Road, Bromley. Then he married Alice Dorothy Parker (b 27 Jun 1910) Q3 1936 at Bermondsey, she seems to have died Jan 1999 at Enfield, Greater London.
However, I can find no records for William after his marriage?

The only records would be the 1939 register/ births of any children/his death

If he is not on the 1939 register he may have been called up.  Have you checked if he died in WW2

What is his connection to your FH?  If you are descended from one of his children - is that child still alive?

Who reported Alice’s death?  Is she shown as a widow? 

What was his exact birthdate as there are several William H Palmer deaths

That's the date of birth from the 1999 deaths index. Are you sure it's the right lady?

The marriage cert. actually has this Marriage 19 Sept 1936 St James, Bermondsey

William Henry Palmer 27 ledger clerk of 16 Jamaica Road married

Alice Daisy Parker 22 of 44 Abbeyfield Road - father Harry Parker, railway servant

So you need to look for Alice D(aisy) born about 1914 .

Electoral rolls show William Henry Palmer and Daisy Alice Palmer at 35 Torridon Road SE6 (Lewisham) in 1937 and 1938; and Alice Daisy Palmer at that address in 1945.

Thanks, S S! I have modified my post ( I must have been thinking of Len Deighton/Michael Caine. :)

As Alice would appear to be by herself in 1945, wonder if she remarried 1948

Marriages Mar 1948   

Lane    Martin    Palmer    Willesden    5f   588    
Palmer    Alice D    Lane    Willesden    5f   588   

In 1950-51 at 9, Empress Street, Camberwell,S E 17

Martin Lane still at that address in 1953 but no Alice D
