Might not have been born in Hexham , the district covers a wide area and numerous parishes in Tynedale. There were Spirits living at Dipton Wood near Hexham in the 1960's, they might be the same family.

Certainly Hexham Registration District covers a wide area, but I'd have thought that someone who gave his birthplace as Hexham in a census would probably intend it to mean that he came from the town of Hexham itself.
