Hi Rob,

I just noticed your posting in Ancestry.com. My gr grandfather, William Henry Morley, had a half-sister named Priscilla. She used the last name of her deceased father, Parkes. Priscilla married Herbert Spowage in Chesterfield in 1880. They wound up moving to the Scunthorpe area, as did my great grandfather. Hebert and Priscilla had following children as of 1901 census: Harry, 17, Rosa, 11, Charles, 5, and Arthur, 3. Is this by any chance your family? And if not, have you by now located other Spowage descendents that might be my family. I would enjoy making contact. Jim Morley: thelodge@huntel.net
