They are an elusive bunch.I still think that we are on the right track as far as Anne Skinnerc-1808, Thomas Skinner-1803, There was possibly another family of skinners living near Ramsey. Thomas Skinner drowned at sea at 56 fits Anne Skinners brother.In the 1861 census was Ann Warren(Skinner)Lydia,James,Eleanor, Margaret,James William and Thomas.Same family? Perhaps not. Fun eh.
