James SPENCER

  General Notes:

to link Amelia and her sister Hannah

Not confirmed that the 1851 and 1861 entries are the correct family, move to Denholme and birth places of Northowram do seem to fit well, plus the gap of children where Amelia and Hannah would fit in. Relative believes it is the correct family as it is only a couple of streets away from where daughter Hannah was living in 1851 (F302 P18).
