SKINNER Family of Braddan

Braddan monumental Inscription:

In memory of Eliza Jane duaghter of Thomas and Margaret Skinner of Douglaswho departed this life Sept 5 1863 aged 14 years
Also the above named Thomas Skinner who was lost at sea on his passage from Whitehaven to Douglas March 8 1866 aged 56 years
Also Ellen wife of Thomas Barlow of Rotherham and eldest daughter of the bove who died Dec 19 1873 aged 34 years.

Other children were John, Thomas and William.

Margaret Skinner the wife of Thomas is shown on the 1881 census as visiting a John Chadwich silk manufacturer in Lancashire. She was aged 68 at that time. I believe her maiden name was Kelly/Killy.

Any help in identifying Margaret or Thomas' parents would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou
