Biography

Ann Skidmore was perhaps baptised 25 January 1776? at Frampton Cotterell, daughter of George and Sarah Hemmings23. She was living in 1851, a pauper [i.e. on parish relief], at The Ridge, St Saviour’s, Coalpit Heath. She was said in 1841 to be aged 60[-64], and in 1851 to be aged 73 and was born at Winterbourne. She is presumably the lady living at the time of the 1861 census in Chipping Sodbury Workhouse, who died aged 80 and was buried at Frampton Cotterell on 24 December of that year.

The marriage of George Skidmore to Ann Hemmings took place on 4 June 1806 at St Paul’s, Bristol. However, there were earlier children of a couple called George and Ann baptised at Frampton Cotterell between 1798 and 1800. A daughter Sarah Skidmore, born about 1801, appears to be sister to William Skidmore born about 1815; they are both known to be children of George Skidmore from Australian records.

They both emigrated to Australia in 1848 and William was apprenticed to Sarah's husband. On 27 July 1809 a warrant was issued to George Skidmore by Samuel Webb, charged by William Skuse, acting Overseer of Frampton Cotterell, for absconding from the parish leaving his wife and family chargeable to the parish24 (suggesting more than one child at this time). Until other evidence emerges, it is here assumed that all the children listed below are those of George [20] described here.

Children of George and Ann Skidmore, baptised at Frampton Cotterell, 32. i. JOHN, baptised 9 September 1798, 'son of George and Ann Scudamore'.

33. ii. GEORGE, baptised 27 November 1800, 'son of George and Ann Scudamore'.

iii. Sarah, born about 1801. She married firstly George Green, a hatter, on 28 June 1822 at St Nicholas, Bristol and they lived in Frampton Cotterell. George Green and seven children are found there at the time of the 1841 census. (William Skidmore, a poor child aged 14, was apprenticed on 30 December 1830 to George Green, a hatter of Frampton Cotterell, to learn hatting - this was presumably her brother William [35]).

The family emigrated in 1848 to New South Wales. Green died in 1850 soon after arriving in Australia and Sarah married secondly James Pickering in 1853, and 3rdly John Gabb in 1858. She died on 23 March 1879 aged 78 at Sydney. Her death record notes that she was a daughter of George Skidmore, and had lived in New South Wales for 31 years. George and Sarah Green's eldest son Mark married Cecelia Jemima Agnes Coffey and continued as a hatter, with a shop in George Street, Sydney. Children of George and Ann (Hemmings) Skidmore, baptised at Frampton Cotterell,

iv. Hannah, born 22 May (baptised 6 September) 1807. She appears to have married Thomas Heavens, an agricultural labourer (born about 1795), on 18 December 1823 at Frampton Cotterell. Abraham Huggins was a witness. The family lived at Winterbourne Down and he died in 1859Q3. Mrs Heavens and some of their children continued to live in Winterbourne, where she died in 1864Q1.

v. Martha, born 27 January (baptised 25 February) 1810.

34. vi. THOMAS, born 1811.

35. viii. WILLIAM, born about 1815 and baptised 6 December 1823 at Frampton Cotterell
