John Skidmore married Elizabeth Hampson 1847, St Bartholomew, Wednesbury.

Damarius Skidmore married John Chambers, 1871, Birmingham.

John Skidmore was born 1827, son of Thomas Skidmore (b1802) & Sidonia Higgs - they married 1824, Halesowen. Thomas died in 1832 and Sidonia later married Godfrey Swift.

JOHN8 SKIDMORE, born in Mount Pleasant, Brierley Hill and baptised 1 July 1827. He was called John Swift in the census of 1841, when he was living with his mother and stepfather Godfrey Swift in Ford Brook, Pelsall. His first wife was Elizabeth Hampson (perhaps born about 1829, daughter of Amos Hampson, coachsmith of the High Street, Wednesbury, and Sarah (Rhodes)). They were married at St Bartholomew's, Wednesbury on 5 April 1847 (note that her father was called a gun lock filer in the marriage register). The witnesses were Godfrey Swift and Mary Skidmore. Neither bride, groom nor witnesses were able to write their names, instead making their marks.
Elizabeth Skidmore died in 1850 and John was living at the time of the 1851 census, a widower, with his brother Thomas in Wednesbury. His first child Demarius was born in late 1847 in Wednesbury. At the time of the 1851 census she was a visitor aged 3 at the home in Waste Bank, Wollescote, of Thomas Hughes, nail forger (born in Clent and baptised Thomas Nelson Hughes there in 1807), his wife Sarah and three children (all born in Lye).
John Skidmore is apparently the man (son of Thomas Skidmore) who married Elizabeth Rubery (born about 1831 in Dudley, daughter of Thomas Rubery, potter of Amblecote Bank, and Jane), on 17 July 1852 at All Saints', Sedgley. From at least 1853 until 1857 John was a puddler in Netherton, but by 1860 had moved to the Delph. At the time of the 1861 census the family were at Amblecote Bank, Brierley Hill but by 1865 John obtained a position as manager of a mill and forge in Oldbury and they lived in Titford Road there. This family continued to use Brierley Hill Church even when they lived in Netherton and Oldbury. Elizabeth Skidmore died at 30 Titford Road, Langley, Oldbury, on 8 September 1899 aged 69, leaving a will (not seen). John died on 20 September 1903 aged 76.
