There doesn't appear to be a William Skidmore born Birmingham circa 1866 showing. There is a William Skidmore born circa 1870 who is a brass tube worker. He appears to marry Edith Sweet.
Have you found your William Skidmore on the 1901 census? Does that census give any more clues (wife?) to help search for William on the 1891 census?

Regards
Valda

What about

William H Skidmore, Head, 26, Iron works clerk, Worcestershire Langley.
Ann Skidmore, Wife, 22, Worcestershire, Oldbury.
Ellen Brown, 13, General domestic servant, Staffs Smethwick.
Living at Moat Lane Oldbury.

Any of these places could be classed as Birmingham
