Charles Harcourt Palmer | Gentleman’s Magazine July 1838 | OBITUARY | SIR C. H. PALMER, BART. | Lately. Aged 78, Sir Charles Harcourt Palmer, Bart, of Dorney Court, Buckinghamshire. One of the oldest titles of the baronetage has become extinct by the death of this gentleman. It was conferred by the Founder of the Order, King James the First, in 1621, on Sir Thomas Palmer, who had been knighted in the expedition to Cadiz; he was seated at Wingham in Kent, and was descended from an ancient family which had long flourished in that county and Sussex. The elder branch of the family terminated in heiresses, on the death of the fourth Baronet, in 1723; viz. Mary, married first to Sir Brook Bridges, and secondly to the Hon. Charles Feilding; Elizabeth, married to the Hon. Edward Finch Hatton; and Mary, married to Daniel Earl of Winchelsea. The title then devolved on Sir Charles Palmer, great-grandson of Sir James Palmer, Knt. (third son of the first Baronet,) by his wife Martha, dau. and heiress of Sir William Garrard, of Dorney Court. Sir Charles married Anne daughter of Richard Harcourt, esq. by Elizabeth half-sister to Simon first Lord Harcourt, whence the late Baronet (their grandson) derived that name. Sir Charles Harcourt Palmer was the only son of Charles Palmer, esq. an officer in the East India Company’s service, (only surviving son of Sir Charles,) by Sarah, daughter of Thomas Clack, esq. of Wallingford, and sister to Frances Viscountess Courtenay. Sir Charles succeeded his grandfather in the title Nov. 8, 1773. He has died without legitimate issue, but has left three sons born out of wedlock, between whom he has left a large property, the accumulations resulting from an unostentatious style of life.

- Aphra Locke | Limerick Chronicle 16 October 1839 | DEATHS | On Monday evening, deeply and universally regretted, Aphra, the beloved wife of the Rev. Thomas Locke, of Newcastle, in this County. In recording the death of this pious and charitable lady, we may truly say with the inspired penman, ” Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” For upwards of 40 years have her labours been incessant in relieving the wants of her fellow-creatures, and following the precepts of our Blessed Redeemer, in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, giving means to release the captive, and to bury the dead. All the respectable shops in the town of Newcastle upon the melancholy occasion of this good lady’s death.

William Thomas Locke | Limerick Chronicle 29 August 1817 | DEATHS | At the seat of his brother, at Newcastle, in this county, after a short illness, on Saturday last, Wm Thos. Locke, Esq. – To write the character of this gentleman, and to do justice to his virtues, would far, far exceed our limits, however, we hope, that the sincere though feeble offering at the shrine of departed worth, may not be unacceptable. – He was possessed of an enlightened and generous mind, a sensible and feeling heart, alive to friendship, virtue and honor – He was in all his duties as a man, a magistrate and a christian, exemplary. In the worst of times, he was intrepid in his public duty, upright, manly, intelligent, temperate and effective – He knew no distinction but between the good and the bad, the peacable and the unruly — he was venerated by the one and feared by the other – His decease may be looked on as a serious public loss, and a public calamity. – His wife has been deprived of the most affectionate husband – his children of the fondest parent – his acquaintance of the sincerest friend – the poor of a benevolent benefactor, and community of an honest and honourable member.
- Anne Margaret Locke | Limerick Chronicle 5 September 1838 | DEATHS | At Cheriton, Kent, at a very advanced age, Anne Margaret relict of the late William Thomas Locke, Esq. formerly of the Castle, Newcastle, in this County.

Frances Jefferies | Limerick Chronicle 24 March 1783

DIED. Last Friday [21 March] […] relict of Edward Jefferies, Esq: […] and affectionate, a Mistress […] indulgent, discharging all the duties of […] that benevolence and mildness which ever distinguishes the amiable part of her sex; she bore a tedious illness with patience, and saw her approaching dissolution with that calmness and resignation, which Christianity never fails to inspire.

J P, eldest son of the late Rev Thomas Locke, after a short and painful illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude and patience. His loss will be severely felt in this county, and, especially, in that neighbourhood, which witnessed his daily labours in the cause of the suffering poor. His friends sorrow not, as those without hope – being assured that he is now “Resting in Jesus,” his own oft repeated expression during his illness.

William Ashe | Limerick Chronicle 29 June 1836

At Croagh, in this County, at a very advanced age, the Rev. William Ashe, the Venerable Prebendary of that parish. Few men possessed higher literary attainments, a clear recollection of which he retained to the last, – while the many Christian and social virtues which adorned his lengthened life will cause his memory to be long revered. He died trusting alone in the merits and mediation of his Blessed Redeemer.
