Dear Rootgatherer,
Many thanks for your contribution to the Spendley thread,

Maybe he just added a few years as he was so much younger than Elizabeth.


Possible birth.....

Births Mar 1880 (>99%)
Spendley Henry John Elham 2a 995


His son's birth?

Births Sep 1899 (>99%)
Spendley Henry John Faversham 2a 923

SO quick, many thanks Brunmmiejean and Christina for your help.

Now would you worry that the estimated birth year for John in 1901 is 1877 not 1880?
