I am trying to find a Alexander Skinmore b 1874 Bethnal Green. he is in the 1901 census as Kinmore, but unfortunately he has totally evaded me in the other two - how many ways can Skinmore be misspelt? Need a new set of eyes. Many many thanks Linda

Only other thought is that they were off fighting, the Boer War was around that time.... a fair few of mine scouted off. Chloe

Thanks Michele & Chloe for your help. Can't say I have looked under the name of Skinner for Skinmore - you never know in this game - food for thought. Many thanks once again for your time Linda
