He and his family are there on the 1851 census. And, yes, it's West Thurrock..no "s". I realized my mistake an instant after having typed it.
On the 1841 census there is a William Skinner aged 60 and his wife Martha also aged 60. I believe these are the parents of Thomas James Skinner. I've located a will by an Ambrose William Skinner of West Thurrock in which he names his son Thomas James Skinner.
My interest in the Skinners is of a historic nature as these Skinners sailed for Vancouver Island in 1852 arriving in 1853 being one of the earliest settlers in the colony.
Would you be related to this family, by any chance?
Thanks so much for the reply,
david
