Hello Lynne: These entries are taken from the "British Isles Vital Records Index" and show all the SPENCER offspring who had the parents names of William SPENCER and an Ann, in Kendal, Westmorland, England. You would have to look at the microfilms with these entries in order to 100% prove that they were all belonging to the same William and Ann Spencer. It is possible that both of the entries for a Richard (1836 and 1839) are correct; the first Richard could have died. The 1836 Richard could also have been a twin to the John entry shown above, as they were both Christened 25 Dec. 1836. The Source: FHL Film numbers are what you could use to order the microfilm in to your nearest Mormon Church record office. This British Isles Vital Records Index does not include Deaths/Burials. It does cover Marriages. Later or even tomorrow, I'll take a look at the Marriages for Spencers in Kendal, and also Births and then Marriages in Yorkshire. Hope it helps somewhat !

Hi Barb Many thanks for that info, its very useful The names of the children are the same as on the census, so that looks good. I plan on getting the film from my local LDS once I feel more certain about this family and their connection to my Spencers. Appreciate these look ups and look forward to more information if you can find it.
