Deaths Jun 1948 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skippon Robert W 72 Cleveland 1b 578

Think this could be the death or the other one - the age fits.

Jan, can you check the age of the Roberh who died c 1950 - there is quite a gap between these 2 ages?

Found him, was looking at wrong age range:

1891 - father Charles, mother Mary A, in Guisboro
1911 mother Mary A still in Guisboro and still single (transcribed as Skipton)

Thanks Jan,
No, I don'e think the Norfolk one is connected, got him in 1891 with parents Robert & Ann.

Andrea's Robert was with parents Thomas & Sarah in 1891, there was also a stepson Thomas Potter with them. Robert was with Thomas on 1901 census.

Can't find the Middlesbro Robert in 1891 or 1911 for some reason, but will have another look.

No, i dont think it is connected to me - its very confusing as Robert seems to be a family name and there are lots of them, especially in Norfolk!
Thanks andrea

Well done Mac - I only looked 1911 and no sign. I don't think the Norfolk one is connected do you?
Jan

Thank you.
If i am correct and i wont know until i get marriage cert ,Robert Arthur skippon and Mary Reynolds of Wolverhampton married in 1907 somewhere in Wolverhampton. Mary died in Swansea as my father went to the funural but i think Robert died earlier poss 1950
andrea

Could this be the one getting married in 1916 - he is still single on 1901 census, but I can't find him in 1911? There are no other marriages 1901-1920 other than the 3 found so far.

Not sure if it helps but:

Births Jun 1916 (>99%)
Skippon Elsie Langham Guisbro 9d 884
Births Mar 1918 (99%)
Skippon Charles Langham Middlesbro 9d 879
Births Sep 1921 (>99%)
Skippon Annie Langham Guisbro' 9d 931
Births Dec 1923 (>99%)
Skippon Nellie Langham Guisbro' 9d 795

You need to ask your contact how they got back to the marriage.

Jan

The 2 children to the other Robert both married in Norfolk, 1929 & 1932, which points to that family still being there.

Don't know about the Robert in the Middlesbro marriage - there's no death for the Annie I posted, they were married 1906.

Could be I've found the wrong alternative family, but no other Robert showing up on 1911 that I can see to fit with the one married Middlesbro.

If you are sure your grandfather died there, then he will be yours obviously. They might hve looked for a death and seen this one, then assumed it was theirs.
Jan

My GGrandfather im sure died in Swansea as they were living there at the time, this is why i think the 1950 death of Robert Skippon in Glamorgan is probably my Ggrandfather if this is a correct death date.
Thanks again
andrea

So it was a different Robert, i knew there must have been some cofusion somewhere. Do you think the other member has the two Roberts mixed up and it is actually my GGrandfather who died 1950 in Glamorgan as this would make sence?
Thanks Andrea

found one in Staffs

I am wondering if this contact has got the wrong birth for their Robert and it's another person entirely. Why do they think he was born in Wolverhampton?

Marriages Mar 1916
Langham Annie Shippon Middlesbro' 9d 954
Skippon Robert Langham Middlesbro' 9d 954

The only way to be 100% sure is to have info from both marriage certs to compare.
