Skews, James Edward
« on: Saturday 25 January 14 00:16 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate any information on James Edward Skews, and the Skews family from Gravesend, Kent.  James Edward married Jemima Aldridge in 1915 and then moved to Canada sometime thereafter.  Please reply if you have any information on our family tree.  Did he have any siblings?  Were they in the war?  I noticed there is a Skews listed in one of the local war cemeteries.  Any info would be most appreciated! 
Best regards
Barbara

Yes, I believe so.  With the birthdate is there a way to find more info?

He should appear in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census as he was obviously in England until his marriage in 1915, but at the moment I cant find him.

Thank you for looking.  I can't seem to find too much but have really just started looking.  If I could find his parents names and other siblings that would be fantastic.  In Canada there are only a few Skews, but I noticed on this site and the census there are many in England, which is encouraging!
Regards,
Barbara

This looks like his passage to Canada - the original isn't very clear

Male  Age:   37
Birth  abt 1882
Birth Country:   England
Date of Arrival:   19 Dec 1919

I think he is travelling with wife Jemima aged 46 and daughter Alice aged 3.

Oh my goodness, thank you!  Yes, my father had an older sister named Alice.
