They could well be related - Spering is an unusual name, and Burford isn't that large.  I was looking for Ephraim's parents and worked back via census records.  I would expect William and Mary Spering to have had more than one child.  Don't know if FreeReg has any info?  Have you looked at the Burford registers?

I'd be interested to hear if you find out any further details

That is fascinating.  I have William Spering married to Mary Castle (Shipton under Wychwood, 1808)

It seems just a little surprising that there would be 2 William Sperings alive in Burford and having children at the same time.  My Ephraim, son of William, was bapt 30 Dec 1810, Burford

I've just looked at Familysearch.org and if you search 'England' and drill down, they have put up International Genealogical Index.  Search for Spe*rin* under Oxfordshire and it brings up loads of Sperings (sp) from Burford. 

There are 2 Robert Sperings bapt 28 Jan 1814 & 25 June 1815, both sons of William & Ann - presumably the first Robert died.

William & Ann also had Emmanuel, bapt Burford  1 Apr 1821
Jane, bapt 10 Jan 1819
Mary Ann, bapt 22 Feb 1824

There are also:
Elizabeth, dau William Sperrink, bapt Burford 24 May 1807
Elizabeth, dau William Sperrink, bapt Burford 13 Nov 1807 (!)
Eliza, dau William Sperink, bapt Burford 23 Oct 1808
( Dec 30 1810, Ephraim Sperrink, son of Wm, Burford, Oxfordshire - not on IGI)

Happy hunting!


This is my family - but the (mysongenistic) priest most unhelpfully omitted the mother's name!

Your correct on death of first Robert as well

Thanks for all your help, so it looks like William and Mary had three children... Ephraim (born 1810), Robert (who died 1814) and Robert (born 1815),

Think I'm slowly getting somewhere if this is correct, does anyone know who Willam's parents are?


Regards,

Kieran

Summary
It looks as if there were 3 William Spering's - one married Ann Club in 1806. one married Mary Castle in 1808 & one married another Ann c 1813!

Just to add to the confusion
13 Sep 1832 William Sperrink, widower, (X) to Ruth Harris, widow, (X), Both of this parish
Wits ... Rbt Scarcebrook, My Scarcebrook (x) and Jn Banbury  (not sure of parish - Burford?)

(Could someone very kind check the Shipton under Wychwood marriages, which look curiously similar by date, also the Elizabeth Sperink baptisms at Burford)
