That's good, Janet - definitely the right baptism, then.

Yes, brilliant!!

Guess what? I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but if you look at the 1841 census you posted up right at the start of this thread the three Burley children are listed right under the family of Wm and Elizabeth Spence! Doh!!

If only William and Elizabeth had waited two more months to get married, we would be able to get William's father's name from their marriage certificate.

I know!

It's likely his father was William, but would have been nice to tie everything together a bit more.....

Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 06 Apr 1805
Baptism/Christening Place: NEWTON UPON OUSE,YORK,ENGLAND
Father's Name: William Spence
Father's Birthplace:
Father's Age:
Mother's Name: Margaret

Linton on Ouse (where he said he was born) is in the parish of Newton on Ouse.

Hmmm... I keep looking at this marriage:
William Spence married Ann Scaife 18 Jan 1829 at Catton near York.

If "Catton near York" means High Catton / Low Catton, then it is right near Stamford Bridge.

Sorry, I was typing while you were posting! Yes, that baptism does look likely but it would have been nice to be able to confirm from his marriage cert.

I wish we knew if Ann or Elizabeth was the mother of William b abt 1836 (aged 5 in 1841 and 14 in 1851). If we knew it was Ann it would leave a very small window for her death.
