Palmer - Berrow
William Palmer was born here in 1796 and died in 1869. His wife was Joanna Young, and he was an ag lab. Their children were Benjamin, Jane, Charlotte, Henry, Abel, Margaret and John. Unfortunately there were two William Palmers in Berrow, both born in the same year, but there is only one baptism, and as the other one was a farmer, I would imagine it was his! So I've hit a brick wall, any help would be much appreciated.

STAPLES, JEWELL, Bickenhall, Thorn Falcon, - Bickenhall
ELIJAH STAPLE and his wife Sarah are shown as living in Thorn Falcon for the 1851 census, both were born at Bickenhall, Somerset. LDS gives possible match for their marriage at Thorn Falcon in 1836 - (Elijah Staple and Sarah Jewell.) The family moved to Walsall and Sarah died before the 1861 Census; her death may have been registered in Walsall in 1852. Elijah's name evolves to become ELISHA STAPLES by the time of his remarriage in 1865. (see other entries under STAPLES, PETERS and TRUMP). Can anyone confirm the 1836 marriage record is a good match and provide additional information please? (Thank you Sue for the 1841 Census details).
