Re: the Spence Family
In Response To: Re: the Spence Family ()

That is totally amazing! Thank you. What a lot of hard work. I am almost speechless. My g. grandfather married TWICE. So the plot thickens. He sounded fairly dislikeable because on the birth of his 4th daughter with Catherine (Cregeen) he was supposed to have said 'Not another lousy daughter'. And became known in our family as 'Lousy Spence'. I am in no way sympathetic to this view but as he had 2 daughters by his first marriage I can understand slightly where he was coming from! This is amazing info and I need to look at it closely ... (and take notes). I suppose this makes me 1/8 Manx? 6/8 Irish ? Or would it be 1/16? I am not good at Maths! Thanks. Now to find my cousins ...!
