Well, now, I certainly got my comeupance, didn't I! Usually pretty good about checking all possible spellings, I guess I was lulled by the fact that there is a Spansel Hill in County Claire,and that there is a google link that mentions a song named Spansel Hill, but no lyrics under that spelling. I also notice that it is sometimes spelled with 2 l's and sometimes 1 word. Anyway, thanks for the wealth of information, and fwiw, the next person who looks up Spansel in the forum will find all the threads just because of my misspelling.
