Ian: Have you anything please about Michael SPENCE, schoolteacher at Firth in the early 19th century who was married to Ann Cusiter of Firth? She lived from about 1783 to1862. His unusual and durable gravestone stands in Finston Old Kirkyard, but I don't have a record of what is written on it. More about Orkney SPENCE or SPENS families would be very welcome.
