I have long suspected that my 2x great grandfather John Spencer was married before he married Lucy Knowles in Chesterfield 13 Oct 1832 as the 1841 census has 2 children Elizabeth (1830) and William (1831) born before that marriage
The 1851 census has William born Matlock, i now have.
John Spencer born 1803 Cric...Occupation Miller
Lucy Knowles born 1812 Matlock
From the andrews pages and the wirksworth site,
John Spencer marrying Frances Knowles 1828 Matlock
2 children born Elizabeth and William...fathers occupation Miller
From FHO Frances Spencer buried 25 Jan 1832 Matlock aged 28
2 questions
Lucy had a sister Fanny born 1803, could this be Frances?
Do you think John Spencer married 2 sisters?
Could i have your opinion on this please
