Checking in with update.
With your assistance the following details have emerged: Rychard Skinner 1563-1639 of Queniborough, Leicestershire marries Ales Croson 6 Sept 1584 . I continue to search for a link between John Skinner of Syston, Leicestershire(married to Elizabeth ?-1663) and Rychard 1563-1639 of Queniborough, Leicestershire. Marriage and will probate records for R. Skinner 1563-1639 are available but his children's births & baptismal records elude me. I do believe the church, St. Mary's of Queniborough, Leic. but birth records do not appear. Perhaps I am looking in wrong place.

1st:Rychard's will is detailed but how to read :(
2nd: John Skinner is so common a name , how to determine if I have the right one. John's children's' names indicate to me I am closing in but John's parentage is proving a challenge without facts.
Once again, any direction is appreciated

Thanks Ciderdrinker for Will details and expertise.

I shall continue plugging away with these people and dates.
A great key for anyone's research is a will, I'm guessing.
Cheers

Hello,
Thank you for continuing the research & conversation.
-the will: I shall find ,print ,decipher & ask for assistance.
-terms 15th & 16th century: a new focus (Husbandman now understood)
-localities: equally important. I have found many Skinners in Lincolnshire however a link if any    remains my mystery.
-Ann Skinner 1605: looking into.
Thanks for your time

Much Appreciated.
Yes, I have sourced FindMyPast, found details & attempting to verify. Perhaps overthinking.

Is it reasonable to attribute 7 children to John & Elizabeth between 1634 & 1652?
FindMyPast has a death notice for Elizabeth Skinner 1666.
By chance I found the will you mentioned, however I have not spent time to locate details or decipher.
You mention death John Skinner, Husbandman in 1690. I paused not knowing the reference Husbandman. Is an entry such as this enough evidence to add to this particular family?
 I continue to educate myself in this world of genealogy.

Yes, a continuation of earlier post.

I continue to read beginner’s guide but slow at learning the ropes of a chat forum.
Please any chat etiquette is appreciated.

I'm trying to trace an ancestor with very limited information and would appreciate any help or guidance.

Here’s what I know:

Name: John skinner

Approximate birth year:1600's

Possible birthplace: Syston, Leicestershire. I am using children's baptismal info as a guide.

Religion: Anglican

Known relatives: Wife: Elizabeth, Children: Thomas91636), Mary(1637), Ann, Joseph?(1647), Mabella?(1645)

What I’m trying to find: info on John, his wife's Elizabeth's surname, confirm place of birth, marriage record, etc. I do believe Elizabeth died in 1666 according to LDS records

I know this isn’t much to go on, but I’m hoping someone might guide my search or suggest where to look next.

Thanks in advance

 I am currently researching Thomas Skinner born 1670, Syston, Lincolnshire. Spouse Jane Benskyn circa 1670. There were 8 children born.

I would be grateful for any guidance or assistance provided. Specifically, I'm hoping to locate: Thomas' parents. Any info related to parish records (baptisms, marriages, burials) for the Skinners in Syston or surrounding parishes during the 1600s is certainly welcome.
