If the 1851 family I posted earlier (at 17:36 ) is the correct one for John 1849 with mother Mary and siblings Elizabeth, Margaret, and Hannah, then the mother Mary seems to be in the workhouse in Blackburn 1841, with children Elizabeth (1) and James (2).
I don't see an illegitimate birth for James c1839.
BUT . . .
There is a Hartley/Spencer family in Haslingden, with children of the same names and similar YOB's
The John with mms Spencer is one of them (birth posted already)
Siblings:

(and others)
There's also a family of Hartley/Hindles, below, again with similar names and YOBs:
Mary Hartley in the 1871 England Census Name: Mary Hartley Age: 52 Estimated birth year: 1819 Relation: Wife Gender: Female Where born: Haslingden Civil Parish: Haslingden Ecclesiastical parish: Haslingden Town: Haslingden County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Haslingden Sub-registration district: Haslingden ED, institution, or vessel: 12 Household schedule number: 67 Piece: 4141 Folio: 79 Page Number: 15 Household Members: Name Age John Hartley 53 Mary Hartley 52 Elizabeth Hartley 29 Mary J Hartley 22 Alice Hartley 20 John Hartley 18 Susannah Hartley 17 Ellen Hartley 15 James Hartley 10 Thomas Hartley 7
I won't post all the Hartley/Hindle births - I've found them, but my brain's frazzled!
All too confusing!

All of that is very promising - again I'll print it off and take it from there. I can't thank you both enough - you've been very supportive.
