Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 28 Send Message	I have been looking for my great grandfather (born 1862 in Spennymoor) and his family in the 1871 census, and think I have found him. His parents are shown as Mary Ann and John. It shows that this James was born in Spingnoon Co Durham, but I think this has been mistranscribed. Can anyone out there please tell me if they agree? Thanks

	The writing is very poor. I think it's more like Spennymoor than Spingnoon.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
