The Spencer name occurs twice in our Langhorn line.
My grandfather married Martha Jane Spencer and his grandfather also married a Martha Spencer!
So far we have not seen any evidence of a link between these Spencer families.
Several male members of connected families have been given Spencer as a first or middle name.

My grandmother was born Martha Jane SPENCER.
Her line appears to be from the Leeds/Bradford area:

Edward Spencer, a 26 year-old widower, married Ann CLOUGH (1844-1901+), a widow in Birstal in May 1882.
Their first child was:

The 1901 census shows that Edward & Ann had another daughter Alice in about 1888.
