Can anyone help with this?

John Skidmore born about 1784 in Brockmore, Worcs. He married Ann (Unknown). The couple lived at Dudley Rd in Tipton according to the 1841 and 1861census.
They seemed to have had 10 children (info from IGI) between 1807 and 1827 (going by dates of christenings in Tipton). John was in 1841 a pudler, and in 1861 a labourer in the ironworks.
I can't find John in 1851: In 1861 he's living with son David (1827 Tipton) and daughter in law Emma in Dudley Rd, Tipton, and they are living at Dudley Rd in 1851, but John's not with them. By 1871 David and family have moved to Rawmarsh, Yorkshire and again John's not with them.
John and Ann's daughter Charlotte (1813 Tipton) married George Baugh in 1834 in Kingswinford she died in 1890 after living in Wednesbury for many years.

What I would like to know is Ann's surname, and where and when John died.

Thanks Farside, that's what a fresh pair of eyes can do

That all seems to fit with what I've got! And it fills in some of the blanks!
I didn't know Thomas Baugh's wifes surname, or that both the twins died soon after birth (I did have Martha's death, but not Mary's). That gives me loads of information to be going on with!
Thanks Dennis
