Title: Skinner Family of Godstone
Post by: sheppie on Thursday 05 August 04 20:51 BST (UK)

I am looking for information on Thomas Skinner born 1830 in Godstone.
He had at least one brother called Edward born 1825.
So far I have been unable to find a birth registration for Thomas or Edward.
From Thomas's marriage certificate I have ascertained that his father's name was also Thomas.
Any help would be greatley appreciated.

Hi Shirley,
Many thanks.
Edword is the correct one but The Thomas one is not. I have found Thomas Skinner on the 1881 but he is listed as Stinnet not Skinner.
I am really looking for a birth registration.
Many thanks again
Regards
Sheppi
