Since she married probably before reaching the age of 21 she may have been an apprentice until around the time of her marriage.

Oliver PALMER, b. Abt 1780, d. 17 May 1812, The Village, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England (Age ~ 32 years) (Father) 
Elizabeth, b. Between 1708 and 1720, d. May 1794, Dunterton, Devon, England (Age ~ 86 years) (Great Grandmother) Notes - Her age was accurately recorded in the 1851 census (39), and she had only lost one year by 1861 (48) but she only aged 6 years in the next 10 (54 in the 1871 census) so it is not suprising she only aged another 5 years by the time of her death 7 years after that!
'Grace Poate', widow and a birthplace of Buckland, together with the absence of a burial or re-marriage stronly point to the 1871 census entry being her - and the address being the road where she had been living with her family 10 years before. There is no subsequent burial of a Grace / Sophia Pote (etc.) but the marriage shown here, and the burial of a this Sophia Grace Westlake. There is no entry for a John and Grace Westlake in the 1881 census. There was, though, a 65 year old widower John Westlake living in Shaugh. A clay labourer; the clay digging parts of Shaugh parish are only a couple of miles from Elfordleigh, near which I think Grace's mother was living when she died, maybe that was how Grace knew John.
