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.

The 1901 census shows that they had another daughter Alice in about 1888.
