NOTES
She married John Eskine either on the 27 August 1845, or the 27 November 1845, she is described as the youngest daughter of the Very Rev Joseph Palmer, Dean of Cashel .The marriage took place at Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. Since the date of marriage of 27 August 1845 is from "Gloucestershire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1938 for Lucy Palmer Gloucestershire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1938 for Lucy Palmer." I believe that August if the correct marriage date rather than the Burke's record. John Erskine was the son of James Erskine see http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/erskine-james-2028
