Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Re: John Skyrme 1807 Tiberton Hereford

Hi Dudley,
I have sent you a message through your website (we're related!).
From what I have looked at to-date, I believe Olive had Albert out of wedlock, as you say. She then married Enoch Portman in 1893.
After that time, they had a daughter (Grace Evelyn Portman, born 1895 in Aberbeeg, Monmouthshire), before they moved to Church Gresley, Derbyshire (some time between 1895 and 1901).
In 1900 they had another baby - Percy Baden Portman.
The 1901 Census shows that Albert was living with them in Derbyshire. It seems that before that he worked in the Cory colliery (as per your website) and obviously returned to the Swansea area sometime after that.
While they were in Derbys., Enoch was employed as a Coal Miner, while Albert seems to have been employed in Ironmongery...
Finally, there is another record of an Albert Skyrme working as a collier in Pontypool in 1916 at the age of 28 (slightly out on the age, but records and dates seem to get confused)
Hope that helps...and is correct...??
I look forward to catching up with you.
