The Skinner / Ould bible is part of a group of family papers to view the transcriptions click here. The Skinner Bible is in quite good condition although I can’t say the same for the rest of the Papers.

The Skinner Bible was Given to Sarah on Boxing Day 1874 by her mother. Insibe the bible there is a register secton; the deaths Section notes-:

Robert Skinner Died November 11^th 1873

Mary Ann Skinner Died April 11^th 1875

I assume that Robert Skinner and Mary Ann are Sarah’s parents. Under the births Section it notes what I assume as Robert’s and Mary Ann’s Children-:

Marina Skinner

Harriet Skinner

Daniel Skinner

Mary Skinner

Mary Ann Skinner

Sarah Skinner

Charley Skinner
