Hello reseachers,
Is anyone else working on this family, please?
I am descended from a Frederick SPIERS (also known as Spiers, Spires, and Spirers). He was a bricklayer, born in Camberwell in c.1855. He died in Wandsworth 1928, a pauper. He had married Elizabeth Jane CAMPION, born c.1857 in Newington. I cannot find them in parish records.
There is another SPIERS family who married into the HUMPHREYS family. They had children of the same names, but we do not seem to be connected.
The family I seek were, it seems, variously in Newington, Walworth, Camberwell, Wandsworth, and then in Fulham, in the 19th century.
The first Frederick Spires or Spiers, of the previous generation, was also, it seems a bricklayer. He had married Francis (surname not known) , born c.1832 in Walworth. Their children were William (born c.1853), Frederick (1855, above), John (c.1857), Emma c.(1859), and Henry (c.1866).
One of Frederick's sons was Henry William Spiers (1832--1930). He married Ada Adelaide TOOLEY (1885-1955) in St.Catherine's, Hatcham, on 11 July 1909.
Does anyone else have any links or is anyone working on any of these?
Please be in touch so we can share.
Best wishes. DrJRS
