Spong family of Woking

[karenlee]

There is a death for a Sarah SPONG in 1844 Guildford.... cannot find a burial for her though.  Think this might be yours.

Hi Karenlee
Looks like our Sarah's death  but can't tie in the marriage of Harriet with our family.

I have more data on descendants of Jane SPONG (Windiate-Bason) and Eliza SPONG, if wanted.

I believe that you have been discussing two families not one. The family of Henry and Elizabeth SPONG, and the family of John and Sarah SPONG. The Eliza SPONG who married Henry DYKE is I believe the daughter of John SPONG baptised 3-6-1832 at St Peter's Woking, not the Eliza SPONG daughter of Henry and Elizabeth who was in the Guilford workhouse with her sisters in 1841. In 1841 Eliza SPONG was living at Hook hill Woking with her parents and 8 siblings. In 1851 Eliza SPONG was in service in Northfleet Kent where Henry DYKE lived with his mother and siblings. John SPONG and Henry SPONG may well have been brothers.

Thank you. I'll check that out again, though it could take a bit of time.

Eliza SPONG/DYKE was declared to be 72 when she died in 1901 - giving a c.1829 birth date. The date of baptism I was given for her was 23 Aug 1829 at St Peter's, Woking.

I understand that a descendant has her death certificate naming Henry and Elizabeth as her parents, but will get back to you. Obviously, my informant may be wrong.

For Wendyry:

My apologies for the delay: I landed in hospital the day after my last communication and forgot where I had been communicating with you.

However,

I confirm that Henry DYKE married Eliza SPONG, daughter of Henry SPONG (as attached).

Witness William WINDIATE was married to her sister Jane SPONG (1845).

Kind regards
Robert

Am looking for information of the Spong family whose children were baptised at St peters, Woking 1825 - 1831.
Is anyone able to help please?

Sorry for the delay! Let me know how suitable the attached file is for you. It covers Henry SPONG/Elizabeth BENNETT for 3 generations. They are not all fully developed, yet, but may be useful.

Also, I have posted a couple of pages deeper in this chat a copy of the Henry DYKE / Eliza SPONG marriage registry entry for 10 Oct 1852.

Kind regards
