Hi Mar1, thanks for your reply. It looks like your grandmother`s mother Ruth was the sister of my grandfather`s mother Louisa born 1872. She married George Arthur Baldwin in 1894 at Sudbury. My grandfather fell out with his mother in his teens so the family know very little about the Gaskins apart from info in the censuses and little details like wearing her hair braided into buns on the side of her head and always wearing a necklace that could have been three penny pieces. Another story is that one of the Gaskin brothers was sold some stolen hay or similar, was jailed and when released had a fight in the street with the man who had sold him the hay. The fight being broken up by Louisa with a broom just like Norah Batty! She lived at Little Cornard and died in 1956. That`s about all we know due to the family schism. There isn`t even a photo of Louisa or her family. I would love to find out more or see what the Gaskins looked like. Thanks for any help.

I am interested in finding out about my grandfather`s mother`s family the Gaskins. His mother was called Louisa born 1872 at Leytonstone,essex and her father was a hawker called Henry born 1839 in the same place.
