Hello Sue & Lois,
I guess we've got a right puzzle here!
The 1841 Census shows Jane aged 45yrs, John(son) aged 17yrs, Joseph(son) aged 14yrs,James(son) aged 9yrs, and Jane(daughter) aged 18yrs, address--'Carns House'
I have John Skillicorn(father) birthdate October 18th 1765, died October 26th 1831 aged 66yrs.
Unfortunately there are too many John Skillicorn's,which makes it hard to sort them out, but one day we will get there!!
