I have most of my SPENCER family records, beginning in on 1 May 1759. My SPENCER family may have been around Keighley, but I'm not sure. I have many documents from in northern Nottinghamshire, the area around Worksop. Hi I think that they definitely came from Yorkshire as I had a drink at the Spencer Arms in or near Cawthorne, Nr, Barnsley. There was the family Coast of Arms over the door. _Cannon Hall Museum_ (http://www.ukattraction.com/yorkshire/cannon-hall-museum.htm) in Cawthorne Once the home to the Spencer-Stanhope family this magnificent 17th Century country house is now a museum showing fine collections of furniture, paintings, glassware and pottery in period settings.<< >>All Saints church overlooks the village. All Saints contains memorials to the Barnby_[3]_ (#cite_note-2) and Spencer families, among others<< Have you looked at this site which gives a lot of details about the family earlier than your records. It seems they were a wealthy Quaker family. If you could make up a tree of the Spencers mentioned you might find you can connect them _http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/h/spencer.htm_ (http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/h/spencer.htm) Hope this helps.
