Durham / Re: Spoor family of Whickham

SPOOR FAMILY
I am descended from ANDREW SPOOR B 1776, Whickham, Durham, who married JANE TURNER in England. Their son Andrew Spoor came to Australia and married Mary Ann Delaney.
Andrew had a sister named Caroline Ecley Spoor, and a daughter named Caroline Ekerly Spoor.
When I was young, my Grandmother used to tell me that her family had some connection to a man named Sir Ekerly Bartrum, who she described as a "remittance man" (someone who was sent away from England for shaming his family), but I cannot find any Ecley or Eckerly connection to the family tree. Has anybody researching the Spoor's of Durham, come across this name "Eckerly" or "Ecley"?
