Lots there now Ev! Hopefully Dot you can confirm that this is the family you have been looking at  :)

PS: What do you think...two Skinner brothers marrying two Valentine sisters...hopefully all will come to be revealed (confirmed!) as the research progresses.

Hi all

I have just come back online and can't believe all the information you have given.
Much appreciated Ev Monica and Sharon. It shows I really am a beginner.
Bit I am keen so I will carry on.

 James Skinner was my grandfather who I never knew so I will carry from there.

Thanks and regards
Dot
