John Palfree born 1811 had 2 wives!!!
John Palfree, my gt grandfather x3 left his wife after 1853 and lived a few streets away with another Elizabeth who called herself Palfree, Very congusing! The common law partner of my ancestor was reportedly Elizabeth Bestow who had been married to a Richard Lowe and had family with both Richard and John.
I cannot find any evidence of the census for 1861 of John Palfree and the other Elizabeth but my gt grandmother x 3 brought up her family with great difficulty until her death.
Can any of the family or otherwise please contact me. Thank you.
