    Hi Brian

    There's nothing showing up on the IGI despite Ridge being covered for those years. Are you sure he was defintiely from Ridge?

    I assume these are Benjamin's grandchildren???

    Gender: Male Christening: 21 FEB 1830 Ridge, Hertford, England

    2. JOSEPH SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
    Gender: Male Christening: 16 JUN 1833 Ridge, Hertford, England

    3. WILLIAM SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index

    4. MARY ANN SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index

      I know this doesn't help but your Skipseys are neighbours of my Lock family :D

      I wonder if Benjamin was born in South Mimms which isn't covered by the IGI

                  As Kite Says, how do you know Benjamin was born in Ridge? Do you have any concrete evidence for this?

                      Brian...these appear to be all of the children born to Benjamin and Rachel in Hatfield. As you can see, there's a few gaps so a possibility that other children were born in other parishes

                      1. ELIZABETH SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
                      Gender: Female Christening: 25 FEB 1798 Hatfield, Hertford, England

                      2. ROBERT SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
                      Gender: Male Christening: 15 JAN 1797 Hatfield, Hertford, England

                      3. JANE SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
                      Gender: Female Christening: 1789 Hatfield, Hertford, England

                      4. JAMES SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
                      Gender: Male Christening: 23 MAR 1806 Hatfield, Hertford, England

                      5. BENJAMIN SKIPSEY - International Genealogical Index
                      Gender: Male Christening: 29 NOV 1795 Hatfield, Hertford, England


                      I've got to say though that I doubt Rachel b1824 was one of theirs as it seems rather late

                          It's an easy mistake to make when they keep choosing the same names

                          There are a few people on GR who seem to be researching the same family as you. Have you tried contacting them?
