Looking for the parents of. John Skinner born 1828 Luton could be Limbury area. He was married to a Sophia Bygrave. And they had a daughter called Ann Skinner. His occupation would be interesting to know. Thankyou

Have you looked for him on the 1841 census which is available on Family Search?
Who did he name as his father on his marriage cert?
If you are looking for his occupation that would be shown on any census entry
