Surrey / John Spencer, Camberley
« on: Monday 31 December 18 17:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all!

I’m looking for any information on John Spencer and his parents/siblings. He was born in 1879 in either London Road, Camberley (according to him on the 1911 census) or Yorktown, Surrey (according to his army records). His fathers name was William and they were both tailors.

I can’t find any Spencers in Camberley on the 1881-1901 census nor can I find any birth record for John. I know he was CofE (army records) so maybe he was baptised at a local CofE church? Again, no records! It’s honestly like he just appeared in 1903 when he joined the army (in Leicester) because I have a paper trail from that point on, but nothing before.

From 1903, he lived in Yorkshire (York, Barnsley, and Leeds) so if anyone has any information about him at that point I’d love to hear from you.

Any help would be great!

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Holbeck Cemetary - SPENCER

Hello,

This is my first time posting. I’m looking for the grave of John Spencer (1879-1921), he was buried 14th November 1921 in Holbeck, Leeds. The plot number is 8183, I’d be very grateful if someone could find me any information about his burial...maybe a picture of his gravestone?

He’s been a bit of a nightmare, saying that he was born London Road in Camberley in 1879 but I’ve not been able to find him in any census records besides the 1911 one. His army records say that he was born in York Town, Camberley and that his fathers name was William (I know William was dead by 1907). I honestly think he was in witness protection  so any info on him would be grand.

Thanks in advance folks!
