You'd think that would be a strong searching position wouldn't you, but his father proving rather elusive ( there were several Spence's in Jamaica, and they annoyingly flitted back and forth by the look of it). I know he was in Rowson St in Liscard by the 1850s, but before that he's proving a bugger to trace.
My Spence tracking in his early years is proving rather difficult. So this is more of a process and research piece. I know he was the eldest of a large brood, born around 1816 ( I think he's the one born 30th Sept 1916 at Cazneau Street but still checking). I know his children and two wives, that his father owned a plantation in Jamaica, and that he spent several years abroad as a youth. His mother was probably called Elizabeth Jane ( Rebecca is another option but less likely), and his father also a James, and they had family connections in Scotland.
