  1. Hello, I'm researching two ancestors/relatives of mine - Thomas Skinner and his daughter, Ray Skinner. I believe Thomas Skinner was a master baker in Inverness. At the moment, I don't know much about Tom or Ray. But am wondering if this Tom Skinner is the person you're talking about? Regards, Grant.
  2. Hi - I realise this thread is a few months old now but was interested in the above. I'm the youngest daughter of Alistair Skinner who owned Skinners the Bakers - info on here is correct - there was a shop at the bottom of Stephen's Brae and one in Kenneth Street and I worked in both! All the family did. That's how we earned our pocket money! The original bakehouse was behind the shop in Stephens Brae but in latter years it was moved to larger premises in Argyll Street. Dad died suddenly in 1976 - he'd had a heart attack in December 1975 and was making a good recovery but got flu and his body just wasn't strong enough to fight it. Mum kept the business going for a few years after that then sold it to a hairdresser I think. And yes he was very active in the BBs - a regular churchgoer in the East Church of Scotland, sang in the choir, was a BB officer, took the Young Brothers for years as well as running the badminton club - also did some lay preaching in his spare time. I have to say I thought every kid had scones, pancakes and cream cakes at teatime till I started going to friends' houses and realised they didn't! Which is probably why I was virtually on a diet from around age 14 ...... Are you doing the history for any specific reason?
