Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 14 Send Message	Thanks Sylvia, that info does seem as though it could well be the Edward I am looking for, however, I am not sure how I can connect Edward to Peter Charles with any certainty. I really appreciate your efforts. David

	I cannot definitively find your Edward in 1891, nor in 1851 .... although there is an Edward Skinner with wife Jane and baby daughter Jane on the 1851, living in Pancras, London ........... this oen is a journeyman grocer, born in Kerington, Surrey sylvia

	The same Edward and Mary Ann(e) in 1871 .... but it looks as though he might have married again 1871 Census Name: Annie Skinner [Mary Anne Skinner] Age: 16 Estimated birth year: abt 1855 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Edward Mother's Name: Sarah Gender: Female Where born: Newington, Surrey, England Civil parish: Edmonton Ecclesiastical parish: Southgate Christchurch Town: Southgate County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Registration district: Edmonton Sub-registration district: Edmonton Edward Skinner 52 b.ca 1819, Lingfield, Surrey, Coal Dealer Retired Sarah Skinner 60 b.ca 1811, Dorking, Surrey Annie Skinner 16 Address:- Chase Side To clarify the correction made of Mary Ann's name ............ the image shows that Annie was written first, then someone added mary in front of Annie, and crossed out the "ie" ................. thus Annie was an initial error by the enumerator which was quickly corrected, but the transcriber didn't note that change. ???? Edward in 1881, now living alone 1881 Census Name: Edward Skinner Age: 62 Estimated birth year: abt 1819 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where born: Lingfield, Surrey, England Civil parish: Edmonton County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street Address: Chase Side Plum Tree Cottage Condition as to marriage: Widow Occupation: Retired Merchant Registration district: Edmonton Sub-registration district: Edmonton Edward Skinner 62 ??????

	David First of all, you should remove your email address from your posting ...... GR does not allow email addresses, and may delete your posting. Further, it is not wise to publish your home email address ..... this is far from a safe site! Anyone who wants to contact you can do it through the GR system by sendign you a pm (personal message), ............... but in fact, we helpers prefer to answer in the open on the thread so that everyone can see what has been found ....... this helps to prevent duplicating research already done, but also allows more than one mind to work on a problem. sylvia

Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 14 Send Message	Trying to find info on Edward Skinner b @ 1816 in Lingfield. Eldest son of John (b 1783) and Elizabeth (b 1791) Skinner. Believe he may have had a daughter Mary Ann (b @ 1856 and may have been living in Enfield in 1901. Also Peter Charles Skinner (b 1824 my gggrandfather) m Elizabeth Grace Brunt 1850. Elizabeth G died in1864 but I can find no information on Peter Charles after the birth of my ggrandfather William Henry in 1853. Any info would be very much appreciated as I live in New Zealand. Thanks David Skinner
