G2G: Who was the father of Edward Palmer of Lemington and London (d.1624)?

Question

In his will (1624), Edward Palmer (b. Upper Lemington, Gloucestershire) does not mention the name of his father.  What was it?

Answer 1

The father of Edward was Giles, son of John Palmer. Apparently I can't attach documentation here, so write me.

John m Maria Grevill

     Giles m Muriel Fielde

           Edward m Muriel Palmer, his cousin

                  Richard, Margaret, Mary, Anne, Jone, Muriel, Giles, Thomas, Edward.

It took three or four wills, one Warwickshire history, and several other sources to put together the whole thing, and I'm happy to share it.

Very interesting.  I helps if dates are put after the names of people, indicating birth, death, or whatever.

Edward Palmer married Muriel Palmer, daughter of Richard Palmer by his wife _____ Palmer.

Richard Palmer apparently was the father of Edward Palmer (d. 1624). Thanks.  Great response.

familysearch.org  has extensive family history information and it's free. You may want to check it out some time down the road.

Please explain how this can be the best answer when none of the URLs given point to original records for proof?  I have found too many errors in the family trees of others.

The first hit is not from a family tree submission, but you are right, family tree submissions can be incorrect and need to be checked for accuracy. Palmer England Deaths and Burials Gender: Male Burial Date: 29 Jan 1623 Burial Place: England Father's Name: Richard Palmer Indexing Project (Batch) Number: B00035-8 , System Origin: England-EASy , GS Film number: 991975 Attach to Family Tree No image available England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991 Search collection About this collection Citing this Record "England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCQM-2YC : accessed 29 May 2015), null, 29 Jan 1623; citing , reference ; FHL microfilm 991,975. From this, it could be concluded that Richard Palmer is the name of the father.
