Hi Kay
I'm so fascinated with all this information, I'm still up working at my computer at 1:30am!
I found an article from Gravesham, called the Hill and it sounds like the same William.  They mention him losing an arm in Waterloo.  They also talk about him being the local confectioner.  Fascinating!   
Later I found another confectioner in a Kent, George Skews,  born in 1828.  Is he related to William?

Hi again,
I don't have access to the census but it was the 1851 census and his wife was Charlotte.  Hope this helps.
Regards
Barbara

It is fascinating.  This is George in1851.  Living in Bethnel Green and as you say a confectioner.  There must be a connection. Will look into it

George Skews    28 b Bexley Kent
Charlotte Skews 30
Richard Skews    7
George Skews    4

I'm wondering if there would be a way to find out more about Sarah, Williams mother?
Could we find out how many children were in that family.  The name of the father?
Thanks
Barbara

I think George b 1823 was  the step brother of your William born 1837 and a child of the William injured at Waterloo

William's b 1837 parents married in 1829 http://www.terrys.org.uk/charts/s/skews500.htm
and his father Willam b 1787 was married before to an Elizabeth.  She died in Bexley in 1828 age 40 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JCW7-MNR

Sorry we keep crossing - I am eating breakfast at the same time as typing  ;)

Have you used Family Search before because many of the births death etc in the form of parish records are on there. https://familysearch.org/search  Will have a look for Sarah on there.

This is a search I did on the site  for siblings of the George Skews you found which gives many possibles
