Hello Linda,
Thankyou very much for your valuable information. I had limited information on the Pollockas but nothing at all of the Skinners - thank you.

Are you able to advise where I could possibly find details of their marriages and deaths because other than their births I have no other information so I have one side of my family that I have no information.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated
