Find Ancestors

Hello, I am trying to find the parents and grandparents of Thomas Spencer born in Coventry in 1825 who married Mary Ann Holmes. I've tried Family Search but i'm not sure, I suspect that Thomas Spencer of either 1793 or 1791 might have been the father but I'd like to be a little more sure and i'm not sure who he married also what his wife's maiden name was.

Thanks,

Ben.

How do you know he was born 1825 ?

Who was named as his father on his marriage cert to Mary Ann ?

Yeah that's them, just a case of who Thomas's parents and grandparents are? I haven't gone down the certificates route, i simply cannot afford them, I know it's not an exact art trying to find them by other means but little other option to find out :-)

Thanks!

May I ask how you're related to Thomas Spencer? Descended from one of the children?

yep, i'm a descendant :-)

So from which child do you descend?

.......and how have you got back to Thomas and Mary Ann without any certificates to prove the link ?

So, Ben, have you lost interest or just refusing to answer questions?
From which child do you descend?
And how did you get back to Thomas & Mary Ann?
