HI LOUISE!!
This is Vienna SPENCER----and here is my original POSTING from May of 1yr ago---(after you read it--below the end I will put some more info for you).

3rd May 2007 09:40

Seek BRITISH SPENCER Cousins--- Are there any folk out there that descend from 'Henry of Badby' (ie- Henry Spencer of Badby,Northants.)--b.c.1385/d.c.1476-- who m. Isabel LINCOLN --and from whom 4 inter-related Spencer branches descend?(ie-'Spencers of Bedfordshire'; 'Nicholas of Cople' (branch 'off' the Bedfordshire line---Nick,Jr.became Gov.of Virginia-in early 1600s); 'Spencers of Althorp' (Princess Diana's line);and 'Marlborough Spencers' (a branch 'off' the 'Althorp' line)-Winston Churchill's line (ie-as his real full name was Winston SPENCER-Churchill).
Anyway, I seek anyone who still TODAY possess the Spencer surname (or was their maiden name) who is in Britain that knows they descend from any of the above lines.
Also if they haven't gotten that far back, but know that they descend from any of the following---- Daniel Spencer lived c.1600-1660 was successful London grocer---who died owning many properties, including the 'Red Lion Inn' in Hitchin' (hertfordshire). Or if you descend from his uncle, Richard Spencer c.1575-1630-ish, who was a haberdasher w/ his own shop along London Bridge, in London.
If you descend from any of the above and possess Spencer surname still today(or was maiden name) PLEASE contact me,as i have much Spencer info (of these families) to share----lineage charts/Old Spencer photos/ bible page info/ family history,etc.,etc. Desperately seeking my British (blood) SPENCER cousins!!! ******OK Now I will
CONTINUE.......(currently-today!!April28, 2008).....

Alright-if you will go to MY initial posting on THIS Spencer "Trying to Find" board---look for the girl AMANDA's message right below my original posting and SEE MY ANSWERS (part I and PART II esp.) to her-as PARTICULARLY Part II applies to you and HOW you can TELL WHICH Spencer clan you act-ually BELONG to!!

If you wish to email me directly with more (personal questions or privately converse off this board) email me at......
