births - SKINNER 1870s
« on: Tuesday 11 July 06 16:14 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Looking for births of Julia? Skinner (c.1875) and Sarah Jane Skinner (c.1878).
Parents were Richard (a coastguard from England) and Sarah.

Sarah Jane I'm pretty confident was born in Donegal (her father was stationed at Rutland Island).
Julia I'm less confident about as it falls when he was between coastguard postings.

Grateful for any leads at all.
Neil

Hello Neil

I have checked the records I have on Donegal births.  I cannot find Julia... But Sarah Jane Skinner was born 17 Feb 1878 in Muislor in Co Donegal, Parents Richard Skinner and Sarah Piper.

Many thanks! And sorry for not replying sooner.
That's tied one of them down. I don't suppose you can tell me where Muislor is?

They're both sisters of my g-grandfather. I wonder where Julia was born then. The family moved to Donegal from Plymouth, England and I haven't found her birth there either.

Thanks again,
Neil

Hi Neil

Julia could have been born on the journey either at sea or in a different Irish county.  Richard Skinner and Sarah Andrews Piper also had children
Richard George Skinner 27/8/1880 and Elizabeth Kate Skinner 21/6/1884 in Tralee in Co Kerry.
