Re: Thomas SKINNER/Elizabeth WEBSTER marriage Beverley 1797
|
I would like to place on record here the error in so many trees regarding the above marriage.
?
Elizabeth WEBSTER who married Thomas SKINNER at Beverley on 27 Nov 1797 [England, Select Marriages, 1538¨C1973], and who had children Barrington 1799 and Richard 1800 SKINNER, was NOT the daughter of Rev Robert WEBSTER and Ann MADDISON of Hull.
?
This Elizabeth WEBSTER¡¯s actual marriage was reported in the Hull Packet of 13 Dec 1808, which reads:
?
On Tuesday last, at Thornton, by the Reverend Mr MACKERITH, Mr. CLARK, of Castlethorp, near Selby, to Miss WEBSTER, dau of the late Reverend Robert WEBSTER, Rector of Thorpebasset, and Curate of Holy Trinity Church at this place (Hull).
?
Elizabeth WEBSTER born Hull 1777, who was the family¡¯s youngest daughter, appears to have remained at home to care, along with her mother, for the orphaned daughter Sarah of her sister Sarah HAWDON who died in childbirth in Newcastle aged only 18 in 1790.
?
Why she and CLARK/E married in Thornton Dale remains a mystery.
