BYATT-SKIPP Marriage - HALs

[Benzol]

Hi John,

John Hills 1773-1851 and Amelia Wood 1781-1845 seem to have been the parents of George Hills of Sandon bapt 1832, born 1818. His father, a butcher, was also born Sandon. Amelia was born London. Don't know when or where they married.

Christinedobson has an Ancestry Tree "BYATT" which contains all these details and much more besides. Worth looking at. If you can't get to Ancestry ask Christine to open the tree up to you as a visitor. Christine's a very helpful genealogist.

Cheers

Hello John,

Glad to be of help.

I really must make a pilgrimage to Sandon and environs. All my father's people haled from  this area of north-east Herts. If you stumble across Barnes or Warren people in your research they could well be my family.

Hello John,

Just thought you might like to know. Just referred to some of the stuff in this Topic. The Mary Skipp who married George Hills was a very distant cousin of mine. Hester Barnes, the mother of Mary Skipp was an aunt of my great x3 Grandfather Thomas. Making Thomas Barnes and Mary Skipp first cousins.

Interestingly, after Hester Skipp died, Mary's father John Skipp married Catherine Barnes. Catherine was the daughter of Thomas and sister of my Great x2 Grandfather James Barnes AKA Baines.

Think this is probably mention earlier in this topic.

Does this help. By the way where does your Lilian Baines hale from.

Hi Benzol,
Many thanks again....
My Gran was Lilian BAYNES so not the right spelling. Amazing that we both have Lilian Baines/Baynes though!
She was born in 1894 and married Albert Joseph PRETLOVE.
Great tree to research that includes an interesting female - Mehetible Turner. What a name!
Thanks again
John
