Searching for information on the Longmore family from Hertfordshire. In particular Longmore in early and mid 1800's. Recently found a connection from Banff to Hertford

Hi Karen
I think you may need to give a bit more info on your Longmore family eg names, dates etc. There are a lot of them in that area.

Sorry for not including more information, excitement got the better of me.
Alexander Longmuir/more b 1754 Banff, d 1812 Hertford. He married Mary Ann Skinner.
So far I have one son Philip Longmore 1799-1879 and he married Sabine Elton
From what I have found on the IGI, 13 children.
I would like information on Alexander and his children, and information on the 13 children of Philip.
I have not checked all of the census yet, as I need to go into town to use Ancestry. But I have done a clear run on all census of Mathew Skinner Longmore b 1828-1878 and on his son Charles Elton Longmore.
If I concentrate on the 13 children first, I will eventually get to the others. Or any other children of Alexander and Mary Skinner.
All information would be welcomed
Thank you

If this is your lot you might be interested to know that Longmores are still local solicitors in Hertford.

Hi Karen,
Sabine was missing from the family entry in 1851 as she and her daughter Mary Ann aged 19 were visiting Samuel J SKINNER 52 Captain Royal Artillery and his wife Charlotte 51 at Springfield Road, Springfield, Chelmsford, Essex. Census reference HO107/1776 F.444. P.7.
Regards ... Peter

Thanks Peter,
I am sure there is a connection with the Skinner family. I have come across the surname recently. Many thanks. More research for the weekend.

Hi Karen - Tried to get in touch with you via Longmore Website - I am the great granddaugher of Jessie Longmore. She was the daughter of Philip Longmore and Sabine (nee Elton) of Hertford Castle. She was my great grandfather Cecil Holder's second wife and they were in fact first cousins as Jessie's mother Sabine and Cecil's mother Ann were sisters. Hope to hear from you. Kind regards wendy

The Skinner family and the Longmore family are indeed related. In fact to inherit under his uncle's (matthew? skinner's)will, Samuel James Longmore had to change his name to Skinner and adopt the coat of arms. If you google in (under google books) there is a very detailed full view of the book 'A few memories of the right rev R B Skinner 'by allan McLean Skinner dated 1860. Also, I think we forget (or at least I do!) how common it was for cousins to marry each other in those days. In my own family, apart from the Longmores. there are Holders and Eltons marrying cousins, and of two siblings from one family marrying two siblings from another.
