I have located my great great grandfather, James Spence born 1816 in liverpool, in most of the UK census. However, I do not know how to get beyond that in finding his parents. I was told his father may have been Italian and married an English woman and changed his name to Spence. I have also been told that he was a sea captain and lived in a home called "May Place" near the Old Swan, but lost his forture due to the abolition of slavery in Jamaica and later moved to London where he died.

I have located my great great grandfather James Spence out of Liverpool. He was born in 1816 and the eldest of a very large family. However, it is believed that his father was possibly Italian and married to an English woman and took on the name Spence. I was also told he was a sea captain that ran routes to Jamaica from Liverpool. I am at a dead end and would love some suggestions.

I would love any info on my great granddad Hubert DeLaserre Spence born 1868 in Liverpool. His father was listed as James Spence and his mother Mary Ann (unknown maiden name) was a US citizen. I noticed in the 1871 census he was 12 and his father was listed as an iron merchant. That's all I have, if anyone can help, there were about 10 siblings, so there must be something out there. Thanks

Am looking for the "real" family name of my great grandfather. He was born in 1857, said his family had lived at Gyrn castle at one time. (Possibly the youngest of 17 children). Trying to find out if Spence was the family name or had been changed. Surely with that many kids, there must be some relatives around. Thanks!
