My Spicer Line, comes from Ludgershall, Wiltshire, England. My Wilkins Line comes from Lambeth, Surrey, so far.

I have traced the line back to William Spicer (variant - Spycer), who died in 1768, I do not have a birth for him, so I wish to find his birth and if he and his second wife Sarah Reynolds married to William 11 Oct 1762, did they just have the two children that I have found, Mary born: 1764 and John born: 1766 and died: 1818. William was married first to Hannahretta (surname unknown) and I do have a possible list of children for them but I am not sure if they are his or were another persons from before. I don't know when he married Hannahretta, but she died in early 1762.

I do not know where his children Mary & John were born, it has been suggested that John may have been born in Burbage. I have William listed as died in Ludgershall, this too has not been confirmed by anyone who I have come into contact with, who also has traced this line.

Although John may have been born elsewhere, he did die in Ludgershall, so did his wife Martha Taylor, in 1817. She was born 1775, they say born in Ludgershall but she was christened in Market Lavington, Wiltshire, don't exactly know where Market Lavington is or if it is near by....


Yours sincerely,

It's just under 20 miles from Ludgershall (near Andover) to Market Lavington (near Devizes). I use Google maps to look up that sort of thing and you will see that the two places are joined by a fairly major road which skirts the top of Salisbury Plain and which, presumably, followed much earlier roadways.

Hi Spice 70 I have moved this from Look ups section as that section
is for a specific look up
so you would need a day month year church names etc

so this is the correct section or general discussion for your enquiry

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to the Brickwalls Archived section
