bullet Sources of information or noted events in his life were:

• General Comment. His grandfather George Sherry Palmer, sailed to South Africa as an 1820 Settler as part of Calton's Party aboard the "Albury" which left Liverpool on 13 February 1820 arriving in Algoa Bay on 15 may 1820. He was 36 at the time of sailing and his occupation is recorded as a "framework knitter". The following note is recorded in the Manifest of the "Albury":

"According to family tradition, George Palmer was the son of a Squire in Nottingham. He eloped with the village beauty, Millicent Reckless, whereupon his family disowned him. He took the opportunity of emigrating to S. Africa. His grandson, George Thomas, married Sarah Helen Stead, who was decended from Lord Lovat, the last man to be beheaded in England. A daughter married a collateral descendant of Sir Walter Scott. The family has several most interesting relics."

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
