And in 1861 his age is down as 32, so still too young:

Thomas William Palmer baptised 17 Jan 1829 Coleshill, son of Thomas and Ann Eleanor.

I wouldn't have thought he would be old enough to describe himself as a solicitor in 1846, but his father's occupation is Attorney on that baptism, so maybe Thomas William was learning the family trade in 1846?

Actually, I'd begin to wonder whether Fred's surname was Palmer.
I don't

I wonder whether either of those Thomases had a brother called Frederick who was a sailor?

I do find it strange that Sarah would know a solicitor.

Although my elusive Caroline Hannah Kendall who was a barmaid in the Windmill, 18 Nicholas lane, Lombard street EC3 and then married into a family of notaries, although not vastly wealthy a lot more well off than her and most people. Her husband's grandfather left quite a bit of money in his will but after his grandson died and although all married in wives had a mention and some money there was not one mention of Caroline.

I have looked at baptisms for that couple looks like they only had one other child, a daughter.
