Sorry, that's the 1881 as well. And I think that's all the possibles exhausted barring particularly evil mistranscriptions!

Possibly. I have one rellie who dropped the only name that made him stand out right before he got married!

that's the marriage you found . It wasn't william at all. The Crofts have decided to appear it seems.

Karen Could this be William and Frances in 1881, mistranscribed as Spencer. Looks like she was born Leeds which may explain their move??? Didn't read the full 1891 image so not sure if any of these kids match up William SPENCER Head M Male 30 Penistone, York, England Coal Miner Frances SPENCER Wife M Female 25 Leeds, York, England Coal Miner Wife Clara SPENCER Daur Female 1 Hoyland Com, York, England Job LITTLEWOOD Boarder U Male 19 Bradfield, York, England Coal Miner Frances SPENCER Daur Female 3 Leeds, York, England Scholar Dwelling Savell Sqr Census Place Hoyland Nether, York, England Family History Library Film 1342113 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 4608 / 152 Page Number 34

I just checked the image & it does say Spencer. I have tried Bender, Reader.......I think the whole family of william & Mary's left on the spaceship for 20 years.
