DALMER OF TROWBRIDGE AND
LEEDS
The Richard Dalmer who married Sarah Davis may be the Richard Dallimore, weaver, who died on 18 March 1840 at Trowbridge aged seventy-seven. However, the death was registered by James Dallimore of Duke Street, Trowbridge, who was probably the James, son of Richard and Elizabeth Dalmer baptised at Holt in 1799. The Richard in question may therefore be a different man from the Richard who married Sarah Davis.
A couple who may be closely related to this family is Robert
Dallimore and Susanna Hooper who were married at
Trowbridge in 1812. Jane Caroline, daughter of Robert and Susannah Dallamore, was baptised at Hunslet,
Leeds, in 1825.

[7] Holt parish registers (Wiltshire and Swindon Archives). He was born at Trowbridge according to the 1851 census returns (National Archives, HO 107/2321, fol. 134) and at Bradford, Wiltshire, according to the 1871 returns (National Archives, RG 10/4567, fol. 74).
[8] Death certificate. His burial entry states that he was born at Trowbridge and that his parents were Richard and Sarah Dalmer (Leeds General Cemetery registers, online at https://explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/537115).

[10] St. Peter, Leeds, parish registers (online at www.ancestry.com). Ann’s surname at marriage to Richard Dalmer is given as “Brundley” and her father as Robert Thornton. It seems clear that she was the Ann Thornton who married Adam Brindle at Prestwich in 1820. Adam and Ann were living in Leeds in 1851 (National Archives, HO 107/2321, fol. 787) and Adam was buried at Leeds General Cemetery in 1852 (https://explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/519253).

[13] There were two couples named Richard and Elizabeth Dalmer/Dallimore in Trowbridge in the early nineteenth century: Richard and Elizabeth (Rindall), married in 1802, and Richard and Elizabeth (Hooper), married in 1812. In some cases, it is not yet clear which of these were the parents of children mentioned in the parish registers as children of Richard and Elizabeth Dalmer, so there may have been other children of Richard and Elizabeth (Hooper) Dalmer who are not listed here.
