May I clarify because I don't yet have all these people in my ancestry tree. Which grandchildren of Isabella's would they be.

The Spence connection I have is Isabella Hayes marries William Edward Spence in 1919. They go on to have seven children and on no particular order are;

Catherine Andrews Spence
Edward Spence
Elizabeth Spence
James Spence
Robert Spence
William James Spence
Augustus Spence

Catherine Andrews Spence 2 (James and Frankie)
Edward Spence 5 (Geraldine, Ronnie and another son)
Eliza Jane (Lily) Spence 7 (No children)
James Spence 3 (George, James, William, Samuel, Irene and Donna)
Robert Spence 4 (Robert, Gerry, Marty, Lindy and Isobel)
William James Spence 1 (Children Margaret, Edward and Norman)
Augustus Andrew (Gusty) Spence 6 (Elizabeth, Sandra, Catherine and Andrew)
The numbers represent the oldest sibling down to the youngest, all are now deceased, with Lily passing away on July 2nd last year.

This is the line from William Edward and wee Bella Spence 66 Joseph Street.

Forgot : Catherine (Cassie) was married to Frankie Curry and Lily to David Donaldson

Don't think I've ever seen a post (to date) with such a quick connection with other family members, amazing indeed!!!

For a bit of fun, how about this one. Courtesy of my new best friend and cousin 

It looks like this a Scrap Iron drive and organised by the Women of Joseph St. A few of my relatives are here including my grandmother whom I'd never seen before 

But what about yours, does anybody recognise anyone?

[johnstonsimon]

yes her name was Edith{ edie ) McKenzie

So I eventually found out who she is. Would you believe she's actually Edith Jane Johnston (b1887) who married James McKenzie in 1909!

I've yet to prove it but been told she's my grandfather's cousin.  Plus not forgetting she's with my grandmother's mother.

Now just to find out who is in the middle. lol
