I am seeking information on my Great Grandfather Thomas Spence bc 1852 and other ancestors.

The 1881 England census shows Thomas Spence living in Salford, Manchester England born c1852 in County Down, Ireland. His occupation is a House Decorator. Living in the home are his wife Ann and their 3 children as well as her widowed mother Margaret Robinson who is listed as born c1814 in Roscommon, Ireland .

The 1891 England Census shows Thomas, Ann and 3 children now living in North Manchester, England also Thomas's widowed mother Jane Torrington (name could be Dorrington or similar as original census is not easily read) born Ireland c1823 and a cousin Thomas Foley born c1843 in Ireland. Foley is also a housepainter.

The 1881 England Census shows Thomas Foley born in County Longford, Ireland c1844 and an occupation of House Painter.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • Hi, I also have SPENCE in my tree. George Elliott Spence, b. 1819, son of William Spence & Elizabeth Ann Elliott ; married Jane Jamison in Dromore in 1851; father of Charlotte b. 1853 & Emily b. 1854 & Arthur Edward b. 1856 (d.1909) & George Elliott b. 1958 (d. 1908) & Hettie b. 1860 & female child b. 1864 & Frederick J. Augustus b. 1866 & Josephine b. 20 Apr 1869 ; died 1912. (from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/S/Sp.htm)

    His wife, Jane Jamison, is the sister to my 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth Jamison. She's the daughter of George and Elizabeth Kinnier Jamison, b. 3 May 1810.

    I've just recently discovered SPENCE in my line so haven't done a lot of research on them. Just replying in case we do find a connection. Feel free to email off-board.

  • Search Engine Optimization is one of the best and useful tools to grab more and more traffic to any website. Especially directory submission and link building are very helpful.

  • Hi Beth,

    None of your ancestors first names appear in my family so I doubt there is a connection, however I will keep a note of them and your contact details incase I find a link in the future.

    Cheers

  • Yes, every day I walk with my children on the street, and then, in the evening, we watch their favorite cartoons. This year, some online cartoon resources were banned, and I had to install the VeePN service https://veepn.com/vpn-apps/vpn-for-android/ . It's good that programmers came up with such a program! The service that I installed is good, the Internet speed does not drop, there is access to sites of interest to me in other countries.
