So, going back the start....
We have this: IGI has an extracted record for a George Spence christened 25 NOV 1829, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England, with father William Spence and mother Ann. Could be him, but I really don't know. and we have a family headed by Wm and Elizabeth in 1841/51. So, we need Wm to have a remarriage between 1829 and 1841.

Hmmmmm....problem?
We have this: IGI has an extracted record for a George Spence christened 25 NOV 1829, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England, with father William Spence and mother Ann. but there is also this one: Name: Robert Spence Gender: Male Baptism/Christening Date: 04 Apr 1830 Baptism/Christening Place: KNARESBOROUGH,YORK,ENGLAND Father's Name: William Spence Father's Birthplace: Father's Age: Mother's Name: Anne and these two COULD belong to this family: Briggate, Knaresborough William Spence 40 Butcher Yes Ann Spence 40 Yes Maria Spence 20 Yes Wm Spence 15 Yes Robert Spence 11 Yes Ann Spence 6 Yes Jane Spence 11 Mo Yes Which would mean we don't have the right bap for George. (maybe.....)

Entirely possible! I was worried about that.
As if we didn't have enough red herrings yet, I've just remembered the Mary Spense who is 2 doors down from the Gardener family in Coxwold in 1841: http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...=&pid=11773090 Lunch is being prepared for me and I have to go try to calm down sufficiently to eat it! Back shortly. EDIT: Never mind! That Mary Spense doesn't look likely, and anyway I've just realized that George probably met Jane in York, not in Coxwold. Last edited by Janet; 08-05-12 at 04:02. |

At his second marriage George said his father was a waggoner. At W's last census appearance he was a carter, so similar. He was dead by 1871 though, which isn't mentioned if he is the right Wm for George's cert. I think Wm and Elizabeth both died in the late 1860s in York District (after the ages kick in on the index.)

I know it's not terribly relevant at this stage of the thread, but Bootham Bar is one of the ancient town gates in the York city walls.

Also irrelevant.....
Some of my relatives were students or teachers at Bootham (Quaker) School in York, which I guess is also in this district of the town?
