	Born where? Actually, it's highly unlikely you'll find anything online from so long ago.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Mum and Dad are both shown with the same surname. Dorothy Spencer Gender Female Birth Abt 1340 Badby, Northamptonshire, England Marriage Abt 1359 Badby, Northamptonshire, England Spouse Thomas Spencer Children from this marriage Henry Living status Deceased 28 Nov 1416 Reading, Berkshire, England ************************************************************************************ His Paternal Grandfather Name Nicholas Spencer Gender Male Birth Abt 1305 Defford, Worcestershire, England Marriage Abt 1335 Kent, England Spouse Joan Polard Children from this marriage Thomas Living status Deceased 1365 Defford, Worcestershire, England Search records for Nicholas Spencer ************************************************************************************ Paternal Grandmother Name Joan Polard Gender Female Birth Abt 1310 Badley, Suffolk, England Marriage Abt 1335 Kent, England Spouse Nicholas Spencer Children from this marriage Thomas ************************************************************************************ Paternal Great Grandfather John Spencer Gender Male Birth Abt 1275 Defford, Worcestershire, England Marriage Abt 1300 Defford, Worcestershire, England Spouse Alice Deverell *********************************************************************************** Paternal Great Grandmother Name Alice Deverell Gender Female Birth Abt 1280 Defford, Worcestershire, England Marriage Abt 1300 Defford, Worcestershire, England Spouse John Spencer Children from this marriage Nicholas Living status Deceased 1386 Defford, Worcestershire, England *********************************************************************************** ABOVE RESULTS ARE NOT SOURCED ************************************************************************************* The Spencer line dates back to 1066 in this tree, if it is correct. Perhaps a free trial to FMP would be useful to you if these are the people you have an interest in.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 6,531 Send Message	Northamptonshire records can be very good. I wonder if this family are on the Bishops visitations. Added: The family are on the 1564 Visitation which suggests they must have had land and or money. But the OP MUST be very sure that his family trace back as Erika says. It is also worthwhile the OP seeing what the Northants Archives and the Nirthants FHS have on this family. Added more: interestingly there is plenty of information out there found by googling. A comment on the wiki tree suggests there are difficulties in proving early ancestry.
