[dianel]

I think this William Skidmore and wife, Joyce,

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=bcconnections&view=0&rand=502777435&pid=40434

are the same couple as this William Skidmore and wife, Joyce Bate:

The dates very closely match.
Although several sources, including Linda Moffatt`s book "Skidmore Families of the Black Country and Birmingham 1600-1900", 2004, mentioned by Dennis, state that Joyce's surname was 'Hawkes'.
