Thank you everyone for helping me in my research for the Speller, family, have now discovered that William was married to Elizabeth Wright, so you were correct sorry I dismissed your advice, have now got a lovely tree and have actually been to Great Burstead, but all old graves have been set aside, Thank you again and apologies for not getting back sooner, afraid life gets in the way of family history sometimes.

It certainly looks as thought the 1828 William Spellar/ Elizabeth Wright marriage is correct and this looks to be the correct birth for their son Frederick:

Frederick Speller
Registration Year: 1839
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district: Billericay
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 12
Page: 8

Ordering this will confirm Elizabeth's maiden name.

Which birth cert for James did you order? This could be the correct one misspelled:
James Spiller
Registration Year: 1843
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district: Billericay
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 12
Page: 11

Thank you Argyll/Gran, thank you for reply this is the William Speller that I am researching, I thought I was on the right track when I ordered a birth cert for the son James, but unfortunately it was incorrect, I really wish to.know if there was another way rdto find out Elizabeth maiden name I have gone through all the censuses.

Thank you,
I have looked at all those names and just couldn't make out why so many same numbers, thank you for explanation, I thought it was too good to be true, all the cenuses show that his wife was Elizabeth, and I have a copy of her death cert. but of course no maiden name, I have sent off for one of their son's birth cert. that may show something, I waste so much time and money on the Speller family, always thought it was an unusual name, how wrong can you be. Margaret


(did you manage to get Birth Cert. Margaret?, which William, or child are you following?)
