Hi, I'm trying to help a lady find her Gt. grandmother. She was Jane Ann Spence born about 1860/1861 North Shields daughter of John and Elizabeth Spence. We're trying to find the mothers ( Elizabeth ) maiden name when she married John. We found her father was John Oliver Spence. Can anyone help us find the wife Elizabeth Spence maiden name. Many thanks if anyone can help Regards Ken Stanger

Q3 1854, either Elizabeth Bailey or Baiely MOOR or Elizabeth ORAM. Tynemouth 10B/238. Q3 1852, either Elizabeth DIXON or Isabella STOKER. Tynemouth 10B/179. Hope this helps.
