Joseph Thomas PALMER married Jane Ann KNIBBS in 1861 in the West Ham District of
Essex. They had a son named Francis "Frank" Randall Palmer,
born in Acton, London and another, younger son named Sidney Edgar Palmer who was
born during q3/1863 in the Poplar District of London. Sadly, Jane died in September,
shortly after he was born. Debden Hall was purchased by Joseph Turner in 1883, so Jane never enjoyed the luxury of having lived in such a grand place. Debden Hall can be traced back to 1777 where it's shown on Chapman and Andre's Map of Essex. There is a record in 1851 of Essex magistrate John Williams owning the Debden Hall Estate. On the death of Mr Williams in 1883 the estate was purchased by Joseph Thomas Palmer who owned the printing ink manufacturers Slater and Palmer in Marshgate Lane, Stratford. Mr Palmer resided at Debden Hall with his son and sister-in-law and seven servants. Mr Palmer died in 1898 and his son-in-law Mr Clarke occupied the Hall until his death in 1917. |
