Thanks jennyandfamily for the information on Donnington Hall. Your logic with the Will of 1750 is very conclusive for a John Skipp who was buried 1750/51 (old style date) FOD record 270589, given as 19 Jan 1751, at Donnington. My concern is over the birth/bpt year of 1707. The FOD have only one bpt record for the year 1707, and nothing else near it. It is ID399258 on 14 Nov 1707, for father John esq, mother Jane resident at Ledbury. There is however a burial record for a John Skipp, ID323982 on 7 Apr 1796 with an age given as 88. [I wish there were more death ages available!] This indicates a birth abt 1708! I have put the dates 1707 and 1708 into FamilySearch and still only get the one for John Skipp, son of John and Jane for 14 Nov 1707. I have this John Skipp (1707-1796) married to a Penelope Symonds and wonder whether you have her on your tree and what your comment would be on the birth year of your John Skipp married to Dinah Davis? Perhaps there were two, one born in 1707 and the other 1708?
Kind regards and grateful thanks
