Palmer Hunt
- Kings Lynn
I have a great great grandfather born in Kings Lynn in 1809 called Raymond Palmer Hunt. He married Martha Elizabeth Groome in Kings Lynn
and then moved to Islington, Middlesex where he became a grocer/general shopkeeper.
I cannot trace his Norfolk family but in the censuses I have found other Palmer Hunts living in Kings Lynn or born there and am trying to find
out if they are related. Several of them are also shopkeepers of some type. Could they have been a result of a marriage between a Hunt and a
Palmer or was it a common double name in Norfolk?
