Northumberland / Re: Spooner marriage look up

No place of birth besides England and 1814 is given. It just seems that with a wife named Hannah J. born in the same year as Hannah Wilson and having their first child a year after their marriage and him disappearing from British records as well as having a brother named William and all being miners is waaaayyyy to coincidental. Also given the fact that nowhere in the British isles was another man with the same dates named Ralph Spooner married to a woman named Hannah J. Can't find his death record or anything stating his parents but I believe the circumstantial evidence is more than enough here.

I haven't found a death record yet but still searching. I am positive he is the son of Adam Spooner and Ann Grey (Gray)

Nothing can be found for William in the US Census so it would make sense he came home. How old was William in the 1841 census? Ralph and Hannah J. are in several US Census in Meigs County Ohio where they settled

I have attached the Immigration record for you to view. Ralph immigrated to the United States aboard the Ship Henry Clay from Liverpool to New York which arrived 22 August 1846. (See figure 4 for copy of immigration record.) With him were his wife Hannah J age, oldest child Mary 3yrs old, and son Ralph Jr. age 1. It seems there is a William Spooner age 24 with them. I don't know if Ralph Spooner born 1814 son of Adam Spooner had a brother named William or not. The ages of Ralph and Hannah J. (Wilson) seem to be correct. Also William is listed as a Miner for his occupation. Just thought you might find this of interest.

I've attached a blown up image of the census record here as well. Thank You.

« on: Sunday 11 October 15 23:47 BST (UK) »Hello;
Thank You for the reply to my query. According to the 1860 U.S. Census of Ohio in Meigs County, Ralph Spooner age 46 listed his birth place as England so we are looking at 1814. His wife Hanna(h) listed her age as 39, thus her birth date would be around 1821. His occupation is listed as that of a Miner. His eldest child Mary is 16 years old listed as being born in England, would have been born in 1844, his son Ralph, age 14 (my buddies ancestor) was listed as born in England 1846. The other two children John W. age 4, and Elliott age 2 are listed as having been born in the USA. From all clues here given I would deduce that he immigrated after 1846 and before 1856. I have not begun to check the passenger lists as of yet, but from Meadbh's posting below it would seem this is our man:
"I've discovered that Ralph Spooner, coalminer, of New Thornley, son of Adam Spooner, coalminer, married Hannah Jane Wilson of New Thornley, daughter of William Wilson, coalminer, at St Helen's, Kelloe, on 19 Mar 1843. Like Ruskie, I can't find him in subsequent censuses."

Researching the Spooner family for my best friend, Brandon Spooner. His ancestor Ralph Spooner is shown on the 1860 U.S Census of Ohio as having been born in England about 1814 and his wife Hanna(h) as well. His occupation is listed as a Miner. I have reason to believe that this is Ralph Spooner and his wife Hannah Wilson. It seems that sometime between 1846 when their son Ralph was born in England and 1854 when their four year old son was listed as being born in Ohio they immigrated to the USA. Any help on this family would be much appreciated.
