Hi,the spelling of the name changes alot over the years,i email a relative who still lives in the
Oxford area and still spells it Spurret,we think that when Robert moved up to Northumberland
the name changed because of his accent,plus when cencus forms were filled in it wasnt always
the head of family who filled them in,as lots of people couldnt write.which leads to alot of changes
in the spelling of some surnames.Il look into 1851 cencus.will keep searching for Susanna.
cheers,Lynne

, Thanks for that Tom ,

  I found my grt grt grt grnd mthr Susanna Spuritt in 1841 census living in mill st , occupation  grocer , she was then aged 60, widowed with a daughter Ann aged 15yrs and a son Robert aged 3yrs , these would be my grt grt grndmthrs Sara's siblings,.

I hope you don't mind me joining into this conversation but I am new to forums.
I have a Robert Spuritt born Oxford married a Susanna Parkhill  from northumberland. 1782. 1854.he was in the militia in Hexham, moved to Cornwall where Jane was born then moved back to Hexham.



 This would seem to be the Robert who died in 1880

  would I be able to access the journal ?

                     Regards Pauline
