Could anybody help me to find any info regarding the Skelton family in the Nantwich/Willaston area? Albert Edward was born in 1900, so he should be in the 1901 census. He had at least three brothers, William, Arthur and Norman, as well as two sisters, Alice and Doris. His father's name was Charles, born circa 1870, who was married to Annie.
