Hi Keith - if you don't already have it this seems to be the 1901 entry for your folk: 35 St Johns Road, St Johns, Winchester Henry J SPENCER 27 Machine minder printing works. B East Heathly, Essex Rosa 27 B Easton, Hampshire Henry J 5. B Winchester Dorothy M 3. B Winchester There is a marriage entry for Henry Joseph SPENCER and Rose Frances PAICE in Winchester, 1896. Frances/Fanny can often be shortened to Annie. If you look for her in 1881 she is listed as Frances PAICE. Henry may be the son of Enoch SPENCER, a printer, who is living in Little Ilford, Essex in 1891. Little Ilford, Essex. 26 Winiford? Rd. Enock SPENCER 50 Printer. B Sheepshed, Leicestershire Mary 46. B London, Middlesex Henry 17. B Stratford, Essex May/Mary 9. B Stratford, Essex Elija 5. B Manor Park, Essex. [Could Enock be where the 'Hockey' comes from?] I don't see the family in 1881 but have Enoch in 1861, 1871 and 1901 if you don't already have these. Also his two marriages are on FreeBMD. Hope this is useful.
