Walter Tull

FAMILY TREES

Why was Walter Tull named on the Dover Town Memorial, and on the Parish Memorial at Sts Peter and Paul, River? Answering that question led us to the Palmer family, Walter's maternal English relatives. Many of Walter's descendents, from the Tulls and the Palmers, still live in his home area - though others now live as far away as New Zealand and Canada.

Could you be related? Check our family information and see if any names are familiar from your own family history. We have other information too, that won't fit on here, so if you have a query, do ask. If you discover a link with your family, or can add more information, please let us know. Your cousins look forward to hearing from you!
