I think that looks good

The Wilkes/Webb connection is a good one.

I will run with that and see if it makes any sense....

Zilla's first husband was a Benjamin Skidmore.

The Benjamin in the 1841 census was their only child before Benjamin Snr kicked the bucket in 1832.

This is Benjamin Jnr's Baptism.

I can't find the marriage between Benjamin Skidmore and Zilla so I do not know her maiden name.

Where are Joseph Webb and Zilla in 1851

that birth for Sarah will give mothers name

I couldnt see them in 1851...

Ok thanks will put death on

So we still don't know her maiden name
and we don't have a marriage for her and Benjamin Skidmore

moving to Brickwalls

Ok got the info for Zillah

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =748578469

She is a Priscilla Webb formerly Morris

will add to Bcc on dau Sarahs info b 1840

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =181279569


is there a marriage to a Benjamin Skidmore to a Morris?

I don't think she married Benjamin as on birth I would expect to see
Priscilla Webb formerly Skidmore formerly Morris
which is what I usually see although not always
