Hi Peter,
That bit of the tree comes from the days when I did a lot of work at the library looking through the microfilm records one by one.
I must have found a Wm Spencer in the right area with a wife called Hannah and assumed it was the right one.
My daughter actually queried this with me as she found the Wm Spencer married to Martha with a daughter called Frances on the 1851 census. That daughter would have been a lot younger than my gt. gt. gran
I am wondering now if William married twice or if I had the wrong one altogether because Ann Spencer, gt. gt. grandmother married twice, firstly to David Hodkinson and secondly to James Jolley. The second marriage is witnessed by a woman who's first name was Frances.
thanks for your help.
Sheila
