Title: Ellen Louisa Skinner - Abbott
Post by: cornishman on Thursday 30 March 06 20:17 BST (UK)

Looking for help to find more details of  Ellen Louisa Skinner  born in the Parish of Fareham in May 1903. Parents name were William Thomas Skinner and Louisa Gunn. We believe She married William Peace Alfred Abbott in 1928. We have a death certificate for her dated 1973. Anyone with more details about Ellen please contact me.

I may have found Louisa gunn on the 1901 aged  22 living with grandparents and 2 siblings in cosham, hampshire.

Also there are two unmarried william skinners who could be yours, one on board ship (presumably in portsmouth) born in ireland, and one living as a lodger in alverstoke. I don't know if you know this area, but cosham is just a couple of miles north of portsmouth, alverstoke and fareham are both within 6 miles to the west.

I can't find them as a married couple. Do you know their date of marriage?
