Thomas definitely married Sarah Ellen as I double checked this against the Lancashire BMD records and their census record of 1891 states her name as "Sarah E. Spencer". The story goes that Thomas Edward originally went by the name of Baron but then realized he was actually illegitimate (his father died before he was conceived!) and decided to go by the last name of Spencer, his mother's maiden name.
In 1891, the couple had children Annie E. (presumably the "E" is for Ellen like her mother) and Clara. Clara eventually married and moved to Australia, but I'm not sure what happened to Annie.
I found this record in 1881... do you think it is a likely candidate for my family?

Cowpe Lench Newhall Hey & Hall Carr is a part of Rawtenstall and is very close to Clough-fold.
I have *NO* idea where "Wimberry Naze" is or for that matter where Fall Barn and Underwood are exactly. I'm thinking they may be specific locations near Rawtenstall but I can't find out anything about them...
That's my ideas at the moment anyway. Thanks for your help!!
