William Henry SKINNER - born Jan.9, 1837 in England his wife, Julia HIGGINS, born about 1839 in Pennsylvania and the following children all born in Illinois: Ruth SKINNER - about 1862 Walter - about 1864 Franklin - about 1866 George - about 1868 Fannie - about 1870 There may have been later children born in Illinois or Idaho. I have much information on William Henry's ancestry to share with any other descendants. William Henry is believed to have come from Somersetshire, England with his father Robert & Step-mother Ann RICH in 1854. I cannot find ship records to corroborate the census and family lore. But I do know that Robert died in Eastern Champaign Co., IL in 1883 and that one brother moved to Douglas Co, IL. I'm trying to track down other siblings of William Henry SKINNER.
