Michael SPENCER
Born probably between 1530 to 1535. He was living in 1599. Also b. 27MAY 1556. which is unlikely as he was shown as married in 1555 (25 JAN) to Elizabeth. The division of Michael's children between the two wives is somewhatdifferent from what might be inferred from the Rev. Mr. Holding's book, becauseof the discovery of the burial of the first wife, Agnes, early in 1562. Thename of the mother is not stated in the Edworth baptisms, but Elizabeth isstated as mother of the two chidren, Gerard and Richard, who were baptised atStotfold. We therefore assume that Elizabeth was mother of the other childrenwho were born after 1562 and before the birth of Gerard in 1576, though itremains possible that there was a second, unknown, wife between Agnes andElizabeth. The removal of the family from Edworth to Stotfold occured between1571 and 1576.(JFN,1994) Source includes, but is not limited to: Ancestral File and the IGI, International Genealogical Index,both resource systems developed and solely owned by The Church of JesusChrist of Latter Day Saints.
