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.

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

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

That is Croft's brother.......had to figure it out....there are so many Renders & they are all William & Mary's usually.

I'm probably way off base and going overboard here BUT.. Charles Render abt 1874 Hatfield, Yorkshire, England Son Hatfield In Thorne Emmie Render abt 1872 Hatfield, Yorkshire, England Daughter Hatfield In Thorne Sarah Render abt 1852 Hatfield, Yorkshire, England Wife Hatfield In Thorne William Render abt 1854 Bishop Wilton, Yorkshire, England Head Hatfield In Thorne William Render abt 1878 Hatfield, Yorkshire, England Son Hatfield In Thorne Sort of ties in with the marriage date and is one of the places you mentioned
