The Mary Ann Skinner I initially was looking for info . on , has through the kind assistance previously of haliared and ciderdrinker led to quite a bit more being known ( through a visit to the Westminster Archives and aforementioned Skinner family website ) . Having worked through various websites / photographs etc.. I'm hoping for some help or prompts again .
Her f . and m . were John and Elizabeth Skinner who mrd . St Clement Danes on 11 Feb 1768 . The London Lives site ( alongwith Skinner site ) give Willson ( Wilson ) as the maiden name of Elizabeth .
Her father and mother are shown as John and Elizabeth Wilson and lived ( ref . Land Tax records pos . circa . Jun 1764 ) as living at Earl (e ) Street which I have found to have been a very small street now under the Blackfriars Station having been removed as part of the great road changes throughout this part of London in late victorian times .
Sorry if long winded but felt it needed a little background info .
Similar to my opening thread regarding the Skinner family , is there any info . out there on the Wilson family . John Wilson it seems is shown as a tobacconist ( as were some Skinner family members from their website ) and when he died sons John ( 1776 ) and Richard ( 1779 ) were taken on as apprentices by now brother in law ( John Skinner ) who married their sister Elizabeth .
Were these the only ( 3 ) children ? Are there mrg . dates / venues for Richard and John ? Any other addresses etc.. I have checked through Familysearch / London Lives but with no further finds of help .
My next visit to the archives is in approx . 1 month so hoping I can go down with some snippets to work on .
Thankyou in advance
