Thomas Skinner b c 1823 Stratford on Avon, clockmaker.
1851 census - wife Elizabeth - can find no record of their marriage
1861 census - wife Emma

1864 Alice Emma Mary born
1867 - my gggm Anne Emily born - birth cert attached - mother Emily Mary Ford - can find no marriage Thos Skinner/EMF
1871 census - widow living with dau Anna and Rose
1881 census - Alice Emma Mary living with Rose & Charles Simmons (sister)
Rose Minchin & Charles Simmons marriage - AEM witness - Rose father William Hennesy Minchin, d
1860 Wm Hennessy Minchin m Emily Mary Pyle, her fa George, butcher
Daughter Rose Harriet b 1861, Wm d before her birth
Sorry this is so lengthy. The link to me seems to be AEM being a sister to Rose on the 1881 and a witness to her wedding. This must mean that the Emily Mary married to Thos is the same one as Emily Mary Ford. So - why was George (butcher)'s name different on the marriage cert? And why was Emily Mary's name wrong on the birth cert? Could 2 registrars have made mistakes???
And apparently my copies of the certs are too big so can't upload them
