Hi all, How can I verify if I have the right baptism for my Mary Ann SKINNER?? I have located an entry - Birth 22 September 1810 and Christening 13th January 1811 at St James' Bristol, Gloucester. With parents James Skinner and Frances. Mary Ann SKINNER married William PELLING on the 19th June 1832 Bedminster Bristol, Somerset. They had 12 children and child 1 named Louisa Skinner, No 9 names James Skinner and No 11 Fanny Skinner. Wondering if she had a sister Louisa Skinner and No 9 and No 11 are after her parents. They did not appear to go by naming pattern at all. So in order - No 1 - Louisa Skinner - could be after a sister of mother No 2 - William Herbert - probably after father No 3 - Robert - ???? No 4 - Dearing - after brother or grandfather of father No 5 - Edwin - maybe a variant of Edward which is brother of father No 6 - Edwin Albert - do No 7 - Mary - after mother No 8 - Emma Catherine - may be after father's mother No 9 - James Skinner - is this after father of mother No 10 - Joseph - ??????? No 11 - Fanny Skinner - is this after mother's mother No 12 - George Alfred - ??????? I have the 1841 and 1851 census but no luck with her parents living with them! Mary died in child birth in 1854. Does the death certificate have her parents names?? Any advice???? Thank you. Regards, Pat Wade (Nee King)

Pat, Have you looked at the actual parish register record of the marriage. If you are lucky it might give you some extra details or clues. As the marriage is pre-registration it is going to prove more difficult to find her parents. What about monumental inscriptions - sometimes you can strike lucky there. Is the marriage likely to have appeared in any newspapers of the area?? Was the marriage by licence and if so has that survived at the local Record Office?? Good luck.
