I have her sister Margaret married to John WOOD. Children Robert, Midddlesbro 1852 Edward Spencelayh, Middlesbro 1845 and John 1836 Whitby.
I have just purchased the books of 1851 census Middlesbrough. HO107/2383 Folios k to z 190 - 412
Robert WOOD 42 bn Whitby
Margaret WOOD 35 Whitby
Ralph WOOD 39 Whitby
Elzabeth WOOD 37 Middlesbro
John WOOD 15 Whitb

I want to find the youngest child to find the marriage of Margaret Spencelayh to Robert Wood. Can anyone help please?

Hi Noreen,
I'm not sure I understand your question but for what it's worth, there's a possible marriage
Sep 1849 Stockton 24 225
Margaret Spencelayh to possibly George Robert Wood
Not sure :-\
(PS The people you list in 1851 aren't in the same household)

Hi Noreen
1861c RG9/3689/13/20
Robert Wood 1807 Whitby Yorkshire Weigh Clerk
Margaret Wood 1820 Whitby Yorks
Edward Spenely 1844 Middlesborough Stepson Builder
Robert Wood 1853 Middlesborough
I suspect that Spenely is mistranscribed!
Does this help?

Oh boy, coffee time again - I did do a search for ROBERT Wood ;D
-
Just in case you don't have the 1851 details, Noreen, the family are staying at Margaret's father's, John SPENDELOW (and Edward's name is spelled Spendelow as well). Jane and James Rose are also there - I suspect they are the ones you are tracing? :)
-
Thank you Tati, Annie and Pam. I know I am a bit confused about this family but I have difficulty locating them with this surname.
You have helped by finding the marriage and members of the family.
I will purchase the marriage certificate. I have done hardly an research yet.
Thank you again.

I have the K to Z Index for Middlesbrough 1851 Census. I have now found my family. They are RESE James 26 James 10 months and Jane 28. And SPENDELOW Edward 5 and John aged 57.
No wonder I was unable to find them!
There are 6 people named WOOD there too, including Robert Wood Ralph WOOD!!
Thank you, and thank you again, as I don't know whether I would have found them, but for your help.

Hi Noreen
If it helps at all, I have Spencelayh family in this sort of area:
William SPENCELAYH married Mary COVERDALE, I only know of 2 children
William SPENCELAYH and Thomas Coverdale SPENCELAYH bn 1855 in West Hartlepool
Thomas married Mary Ann COLLARD in 1874 and had 2 children that I know of:
Jane Ann SPENCELAYH born 1877 and Thomas SPENCELAYH born 1879 died 1880 West Hartlepool
My direct line are the COLLARD family. :)
-
Thank you very much, some of my husband's family still live in Hartlepool.
My son deleted my Family Tree Maker by mistake when up grading my computer I had to re enter a lot of it.
Thank you again

I was most interested to discover this thread. I have just made a connection on one of my distant twigs to the Spencelayh family, and after a frustrating day realised that they were listed as Spendelow in 1851 - so snap!
Edward and Sarah's son, Thomas married Eliza Knights in 1899 which is the connection.
-
Noreen, there is the family of John Spencelayh and Elizabeth Tiplady on the IGI, they were
Margaret 1815
Elizabeth 1818
John 1820
Jane 1822
Edward 1824
I think this is the right lot.
Elizabeth died aged 37 and was buried 11 June 1827 and he married Isabella Wood in 1828 - perhaps this is where the association with the Wood family first occurs. As you can see this implies that Margaret's son Edward was born out of wedlock!
Ah well, he won't be the first and he won't be the last, if he was a closer relation I would have ordered the birth certificate, but not at the new prices!
Hope that is of some interest,
Brian

I have quite a lot of Spenceley/Spencely etc info and amongst it I have some Spencelayh records .
to add a bit more there was an Edward Spencelayh married in St Hilda's church Middlesbrough 30th Nov 1868 and his Father was Robert Wood Spencelayh, a Mariner !
I've noticed that quite a lot of the Spencelayhs were Mariners . There were a William and a Phillip Spencelayh in the Middlesbrough area who were Mariners.
