Hi Ruth Walker.
My great great grandfather was Francis John Skinner born in 1841 Chester St Worcester.
His Sister Emily Jane Skinner born 1843 Fallow (or Tallow) Hill. Worcester.
There father was John Skinner a horse hair weaver by trade and there mother was Frances Bawdwen who was born in 1843 at Fallew St, Worcester.
Francis John Skinner married Ellen Therase Price in 1863 St George's. Birmingham.
He married my gt. gt. grandmother Eliza Stothart Bell 1874 St Marylebone parish church.
According to an elderly relation, Francis John Skinner hade family connections with the Skinners of the Lilley and Skinner the Shoe people but she doesn’t know how he is connected with them. She only know that there is a connection with them some were along the line.
She also said that he regularly visited Mr Lilley.
I would be very interested to see any information you have on the Lilley and Skinner Shoe people and your Skinner family.
