Skidmore Family of Staffordshire

By kerry4305 December 12, 2008 4329 views 7 comments

Thomas Banks Skidmore was born 04 May 1835 in Staffordshire, England.Parents were Benjamin b.02 Aug 1806 in Wednesbury, Staffordshire,England and Esther Weymouth. I have done a lot of research on the Skidmores of Staffordshire though would like to exchange notes and confirm my information and possibly go back even further when the name was believed to be Scudamore and of Spanish origin. Thomas migrated to Melbourne Australia with his brother John and then to NSW, he died in 1901 in Waterloo District,NSW,Australia.
Thank you

Do you know the significance of the middle name Banks. My ggg-grandfather was Thomas Banks (1776-1844) of Bilston Staffs. Maybe one of his daughters married a Skidmore.

I am trying to trace my family. My maiden name was Skidmore from Pensnett, Brierley Hill. However on my father-in-laws side of the family there is Skidmores, the family of Mary Skidmore born @1795 who married David Fradgley. Any ideas, or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, I cannot help Daveehill, Neilbat or AncestorHunter with their enquiries.

My Skidmore family lived in Hill, Kingswinford, Blackheath and Madeley.

Good searching.
