Anglican or Protestant
It seems as Fr. Ignatius referred to himself as a convert from the 'Protestant Episcopal Church of England' it is appropriate to regard him as a convert from the Protestant faith. There are lots of links to his account of his conversion in the article which begins with the very phrase "I took orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church of England ". Fr. Spencer was at least a contempory of the Oxford movement and so ideas of Anglicanism being anything other than Protestant or at least Reformed, were only really just being postulated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewafallen (talk • contribs) 08:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Birth and Education
Quote: George was the youngest of seven children whose descendents would include Winston Churchill and Diana, Princess of Wales.(endquote) This implies that George's parents, George John Spencer and Lavinia Bingham, are direct ancestors of Winston Churchill. This does not appear to be the case (unlike Princes Diana, where this is true and easily verified). At least, none of Churchill's great-great-grandparents appear to be Spencer and Bingham.
