Thanks everyone for all your help! I've got so much information to chew on now! I think it is the right family so going to look into buying John Hauxwell's birth certificate. The most frustrating thing about searching for your ancestors is not only the mispellings of names but the overuse of forenames! Everyone appears to be called John or James, keep getting very confused! If anyone finds anything else, small or big please let me know as it's all very interesting and useful! Thanks, Jeni Hawkswell.

I found this entry on the 1901 census by accident, as I was looking for Elizabeth Spence at the time

Workhouse

SPENCE Hauxwell/inmate/S/59/Yks/Witton West - feeble minded from birth
