Hi Jeff, My apologies for the flurry of messages today, I've been doing a lot of research. I tried to follow your thinking about Thomas's "Father" being Thomas Skynner, bap. 1784, parents Francis & Lucy (record ID 70721) but I think it may not be the one.

I found burial records for Francis & Lucy Skynner out of Pauntly but curiously enough the dates of burial are a day apart, July 7 & 8 1799. I then located a burial record for Thomas Skynner who passed July 1st, 1799 in Pauntley. All listings appear on the same registry reference and page numbers. I believe this poor family got hammered with something at the beginning of July in 1799. Regardless, this Thomas could not have been the father of Thomas Powles baptized in 1808, married to Anne 1811 if he's passed in 1799. Thanks for looking into it though, I really appreciate the effort.

I'm now thinking the parents might be William & Maria (probably Mary) in the Thomas Skynner bapt. record from 1803.

I also found a burial record for Thomas Skynner on may 3, 1820, died age 48. He could also be the father of Thomas born July 1808. The marriage record mentions Ann Powles was a spinster (woman of age) so maybe they married in their later years, after having Thomas in 1808.
