The 1911 did say that he worked as an accountant for a Department store, so it could well have been the Hudson's Bay retail store. Can check the directories for the era, if you wish...as he might have stated the place of employ...or he may just have put Dept. store as in census...
I have some search requests, so I will get down to the leg. library sometime soon...

Haha...the old bank in Stonewalll, pretty old building, but I think it was a coffehouse last time I was there!! Lovely little town, by the way.

My mistake    Not "Bank". It says "Book Keeper - Accountant"

Patrick Francis Skinner according to the FreeBMD was born in the 2nd Quarter of 1904 in Pancras.

According to the census he was born in March 1904.

I imagine that Harold Edward Skinner was the one born in Hendon in 1st Quarter of 1903?

Marriage in 3rd Quarter of Harold Edward Skinner & Emily Daniells.
