Looking for any Balmers. My Grandmother was Emily Ann Balmer b 1879,Battersea,London. She had 10 other siblings. Her parents were Frederick James b1856,Kingsland,Cambridge,Oxfordshire,and Elizabeth(Graham)Balmer,b1857.Fred's parents were,James Barnard(b abt 1836 in Barnwell,Cambridge) and Eliza(Town)Balmer.James Barnards parents were James(b 1809,Huntingdonshire) and Elizabeth(Barnard)Balmer(b 1813,Brampton,Huntingdonshire).James's parents were John(b abt 1768,d abt 1835) and Elizabeth Balmer.John and Elizabeth's children were: 1)Mary Ann Balmer b1801,marr ? Wagg 2)John Balmer b abt 1803,marr Mary Stevenson 3)William Balmer b 1804,d 1822 4)Louisa Balmer b1807,marr John Tipping 5)James Balmer(listed above) 6)Thomas Dixwell Balmer b and d 1811 7)Elizabeth Balmer,marr William Reuthiam Does anyone look familiar to you on this list? Does anyone know where John (b abt 1768)and Elizabeth were born,married,died or came from? (Can't find them in Huntingdonshire).They are my brick-wall!! Most of my Balmers were originally from Huntingdonshire,and were plasterers by trade. Any help would be appreciated or any connections to some new cousins would be wonderful.:)
