Baptisms: 28 Nov 1830 St Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Ann Jane Skinner - Child of William Skinner & Elizabeth
Abode: Garden St
Occupation: Mariner
Baptised by: J. Pulford Curate
Register: Baptisms 1830 - 1831, Page 267, Entry 2132

with the inconsistencies between the 2 marriages I wonder if they were actually 2 different Ann Janes especially with different fathers named


edit - just realised Ann was Lewis on the 1851 census

Just want to say a big thank you to those who have taken the time to research things for and although I'm still not certain whereElizabeth Skinner was born(could be Sowerby) quite a few other things have come to light.
Thanks again

Sorry LancashireAnn. I am having a senile moment. I was thinking of Crosby.

Corby is about 116 miles from Liverpool , so you are correct.

1871 census for Elizabeth Skinner
place of brith looks like Sorby Yorkshire
