Research Notes

There seems to be a conflict with Fasti Ecclesiae Hiberniae^[3] which states:

1787. Joseph Palmer, M. A. Chancellor of Ferns, was presented May 26 ; instituted June 22 ; installed same day. In 1801 he obtained the Praecentorship of Waterford. He died at Bath, after a long continuance of ill-health, on May 1, 1829.
