Hi,

I couldn't locate it either--also tried the Family Search site--no luck! Are you sure you have the names correct or spelling?

Is is possible that Kathleen may have been married before? Is Palmer a maiden or married name?

I have checked the Plymouth Marriage Index (vol1)and could not find any details of the marriage.

I think volume 2 has the registry office marriages but I do not have that disc.

The marriage was probably in Ireland...........

As Oliver was in the RN, he could easily have met her there.

Was he English?

Vernon R could well be child of Reginald and Winifred, see marriage in previous posting above
