SKILLICORN/WEST - Kington
« on: Monday 04 May 09 20:32 UTC (UK) »
I am researching the Skillicorn family from the Isle of Man, John SKILLICORN Master Painter and Decorator settled in KINGTON before 1900.  I am looking for any information on the family or the shops that they ran in Kington.

According to the 1913 directory, John Skillicorn and Sons, house and church decorators are still at 13 Church St, Kington.

In 1895, John Skillicorn, painter, decorator and art furnisher is at 34 High St, Kington

Do you have them on other census returns?  I see from the 1891 that John and Rachel were in London.

Thanks - I went to Kington yesterday, Friday and spent the morning with 2 ladies from the Historical Society.  I got quite a lot of information.  I had already visited the Museum and obtained copies of some relevant photographs from their vast collection.

I am following up on all the information collected.

Thanks again - Skillicorn Archive
