Thanks to a lot of help from the tireless efforts of people on this site, among others, I have pieced together the story. Grace was born in the workhouse in Bradford. Her mother Amy had given birth to two children before her, both illigitimate, probably by different fathers. The first,a boy Harry died at 14months, and secondly Ceciley died unmarried at 23 years. Amy had several brothers and sisters, and they came from the Hertfordshire village of Braughing. I have traced the family back to Amy's great grandparents Thomas Spenser c1793-1845 and his wife Sarah Colton c1797-1879. I have been unable to find any descendants of Amy's generation, or what happened to Amy herself. Once again, thanks for all your help. Bob |
