    5. Maria SPAIGHT
      b. est. 1785-1805
      m. Francis MORICE
      b. est. 1785-1805, Co. Clare, Ireland
      and had issue:

      1. Millicent Anne MORICE
        b. 9 Dec 1825, Springfield, Co. Clare, Ireland; d. 27 Jan 1889
        m. Fitzgerald BLOOD
        son of Neptune Blood and Anne Anthony
        b. 1815, Ballykilty, Co. Clare, Ireland;
        d. 25 May 1864, Ballykilty, Co. Clare, Ireland
        For Fitzgerald's ancestry, and for their descendants, see Blood of Ballykilty

      NOTE: Maria, the mother of Millicent, is variously shown as daughter of William Spaight and Millicent Studdert, William Spaight and Anne Westropp, and Henry Spaight and Constantia Gabbett.

      The second cannot be right, as Anne Westropp was born in 1687, and Millicent in 1825, a gap of 138 years to be spanned by only one generation, therefore Millicent's mother cannot be their child.

      The last cannot be right, as Henry was born in 1798, and his granddaughter Millicent in 1825 - a gap of only 27 years; therefore Millicent's mother must be of the same generation as Henry.

      I have therefore left this descendancy showing from William Spaight and Millicent Studdert, pending anyone providing me with proof of this being in error.
