Ralph Robsons Farmhouse, Darlington
« on: Wednesday 06 July 16 21:28 BST (UK) »
Hello, I have a marriage bond which says Christopher Spencer of Mr Ralph Robsons farm house, Darlington to Elizabeth Byers  dated 27 Jan 1768.  Marriage took place 29 Jan 1768.  I am trying to find out who Ralph Robson was and I assume Christopher Spencer or Spence was maybe a farm labour.  Any help appreciated.  Also I cannot find a death for Christopher Spencer or Spence.  Thanks. :)

A Christopher Spence was buried at High Coniscliffe on July 23rd 1777. No details given so can't tell if he was the right Christopher Spence.
