Could there be a connection between the Wooldridges and the Skeldings somewhere? I have this marriage:

EMMA WOOLDRIDGE was born 23 Aug 1846 in Wollescote, Worcestershire, and died 1923 in Lye, Worcestershire. She married BENJAMIN SKELDING 29 Apr 1866 in St Mary's church, Old Swinford, Worcestershire, son of WILLIAM SKELDING and CATHERINE CHANCE. He was born Abt. 1844 in Wollescote, Worcestershire.

Dennis do you have the marriage info on this for Emma and her father?

I had thought that it might be something like this, NL, but now I'm not so sure about George and Hannah being Emma's parents, there are other potential parents in the area!
