Title: William spearing
Post by: Southlands23 on Friday 05 November 04 15:44 GMT (UK)
Interested to hear if anyone is reseaching the Spearing family originally from the Dorset area but moved to Runcorn, Cheshire approximately 1880. I'm interested in a chap called William Spearing born 1855 and died in Leek, Staffs in 1906. If any one can find him in the 1861, 1871 or 1881 census then please let me know! Any information gladly recieved.

Hi Southlands

There are only 5 William Spearings around that age on the 1881 and i don't think any of them are yours.

Census - 1881 British Census
 1. William SPEARING - 1881 British Census / Middlesex
Visitor   Gender: Male   Birth: <1854> Marylebone, Middlesex, England
 
 2. William SPERRING - 1881 British Census / Berkshire
Head   Gender: Male   Birth: <1855> Newbury, Berkshire, England
 
 3. William SPERRING - 1881 British Census / Surrey
Son   Gender: Male   Birth: <1856> Lambeth, Surrey, England
 
 4. William C. SPEARING - 1881 British Census / Hampshire
Son   Gender: Male   Birth: <1857> Sway, Hampshire, England
 
 5. William SPERRING - 1881 British Census / Middlesex
Boarder   Gender: Male   Birth: <1857> Crewkerne, Somerset, England
 
If you want more details of any of them go to:
www.familysearch.org

and you can search the 1881 Census yourself.  I can't help you with any of the other Census's for that area but i have found another William Spearing on the 1871 in Dorset.   He was born in 1792 in Donhead Wiltshire.  I can get the image for you if you like?

Hi there,

If you have not already done so,  post your surname interests in the counties they are relevant to,  that will also help you make links with other researchers on the same names.  I did and now have a new cousin.  ;D

I don't think William was ever at Brunswick Street. William married my gg aunt Mary Knowles. William had two shops in Leek Staffs where he's down as a provisions dealer.
