BYATT-SKIPP Marriage - HALs

[Benzol]

Hi Peter,

Looks as though Daisypetal has found my girl. Think Elizabeth would have been with the family in the '61 census if she were alive. If you could find the burial that would be even better.

Thanks once again for the effort you're putting in on my behalf.

Hi Christine,

My main interest is the Barnes family from Sandon and a number of other North East Herts parishes.

Don't know where you're interest lies.

I mistakenly thought that the Byatt family were part of my Barnes picture but this proved to be untrue.

With regard to John Skipp.  He was a widower when he married Catherine Barnes. His first wife was one Hester Barnes. Hester was the daughter of James Barnes and Mary Martin. James was the brother of William Barnes, married to Elizabeth Ward. This couple were Catherine's grandparents.

With regard to Ann Skipp and Henry Edward Barnes. They were 2nd cousins. William Barnes and Elizabeth Ward's (mentioned above) great grand children.

Bit incestuous what?

Cheers Benzol

My main searching is on the Byatt line as my son in law is a Byatt.  But of course so many other names come up and John Skipp and his first wife Hester Barnes had a daughter Mary who married George Hills - Hills is another name that keeps coming up.  Anyway George Hills and Mary Skipp had a daughter Sarah Hills who married William Byatt who was a brother of Alfred Byatt  who married Elizabeth Skipp.  As to incestuos relationships I have found that many of the marriages would have been between cousins and have found one that is 1st cousins marrying.   Re Catherine Barnes the 2nd wife of John Skipp, have I got this right - her father was James Barnes and grandparents William Barnes and  Elizabeth Ward - who was her mother.  I have Henry Edward Barnes parents as Thomas and Elizabeth and if this is correct then I would love to have the grandparent info so that I can tie him back to William Barnes.
I am happy to share any info that I have albeit I havn't had time to check all the info yet but it might be easier to email direct my add is

Hello Christine,

Catherine's parents were:

Thomas Barnes (bapt Therfield) 1778-1846 and
Mary Warren (bapt Ardeley) 1774-1846.

The couple were married in Ardeley 1798 and lived in Hyndes Spring Cottage (AKA Hindses), Shaw green nr Rushden and Wallington Herts. They were buried at St Mary the parish church of Rushden. Thomas was a shepherd like so many of the Barnes clan.

Catherine had 7 siblings, (5 older and 2 younger). My great grandfather James Barnes was the eldest and the only one not baptised in Rushden. He moved to Pirton, another Herts villiage c. 1810 and lived there until he died at the age of c. 93. He changed his name to Baines in the 1830s. If you search the Pirton database you'll find all my family through the 1800s.

I have traced my Barnes ancestors as far back as 1650 although the very early representatives lack provenance.

Hope this helps.

ps Do yo have any details of the children of John and Catherine Skipp. I have the basics but anything you've discovered would be appreciated.

Hi Benzol,

I searched the Sandon PRs and found the two items which appear to solve the problem.
1. Burial of Elizabeth SKIPP of Sandon 12Apr1852 age 1 week.
2. Baptism 07Apr1852 of Elizabeth d/o John and Catherine SKIPP a labourer of Sandon. 

Regards   ...   Peter

Hi...
My name is John Hills born 1942. I am researching my ancestors from Sandon, Herts. I visited HALS yesterday and looked at the microfische for Sandon marriages but cannot find the entry for GEORGE HILLS marriage to MARY SKIPP - 1842.  The quarter was missing.
Do you have any record of this marriage as I would like to trace GEORGE'S parents.  The IGI show the father as SHEM but HALS have assured me that the name is JOHN.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards
John Hills
