Looking for any connections to this family.
Robert Spence was born 1775 in Crook Birsay. He was married twice. 1st marriage to Catherine Johnston who died between 1818 and 1820. They had 7 children that I have been able to find. His 2nd marriage was to Isoble Whitelaw born 1791 in Gersetter Birsay. They married in 1821. They had 8 children including my gg grandmother Ellen Spence born 1832 at Boardhouse Birsay. Robert was the miller at Boardhouse Mill.
Ellen married Captain James Hourston who was lost at sea in 1880 aboard the
"Maid of Orleans".

Hi
thanks for your reply. I only know that Robert's parents were Robert Spence and Margaret Peebles.
I have quite a few Stanger's married into my tree

I mentioned that I didn't have him listed in my tree, but once you gave me his parents, I was able to connect him. I do have Robert Spence and Margaret Peebles listed. His grandfather (John) was the brother of Magnus: my g-g-g-g-g-grandfather. Their father was William (b.1632 in Ingsay, Birsay). I just finished the SPENCE book - or at least I thought I was finished Ha!Ha!
If there is anything you need, just ask. I have submitted it to the LDS Family Research Centre.
I would love more information on your connection and the descendants of Robert (b.1775)
