Hi Dan
I wonder if there are 2 Henry's here with father Edward?
How sure are you that your Henry married Emma Millington?
Have you any of the kids birth certifs from that marriage? ie sibs to your Henry- so kids born 1837? bit of a wide shot that I know but they did have these kids for 20 yrs some of em!
Cos I found this Marriage one with father Edward too....seems to fit with the Shrops Edward bapt and married there?
Henry Skitt
Father: Edward Skitt
Spouse: Harriet Jenks Marriage: 14 SEP 1851 Madeley, Shropshire,
Extracted marriage
Also I have found as I trawl thru the marriage records that they put dead when not and not dead when should have been - so wouldnt believe everything put on the certifs.
When you get that marriage certif the info on there do post as that will be very useful re witnesses and occupations and place living etc.
Have you got these Skitts on the 1841 census at all?
If so can you post the ref ie folio etc and we can have a look?
Bapts yes they can be any age when christened.
But think it might be 2 families of Henrys with father Edward.
ps the 1851 and 1841 would be good to see ...anyone...
