In 1853 William Spavin married Elizabeth Cran in Launceston Tasmania. William said he was born in 1832. He died in 1871. They had six living children together.
Elizabeth Cran was really Elizabeth Crean from County Cork but who was William Spavin. Some of the six children were born before the wedding, but who were they? Elizabeth's next family with my great great grandfather Joseph Belson knew nothing of this early marriage. Does anybody know anything about William?
