Skeggs from Hertfordshire  family of Thomas and Charlotte - updated 1/2007

(Janette) On the assumption that the family we focussed on thru the 1881, 1891 & 1901 census were the correct one for our Elizabeth Sarah Skeggs (which I think they are), and based on the fact that the Henry (Elizabeth's dad) was born Tewin, Herts according to the census, I have found the following:

Note: first 4 born Welwyn, Hertford and from Henry onwards all were born Tewin, Hertford. Safe bet they are all the same family I think.

1841 Thomas Skeggs and family

and http://www.tewinvillage.co.uk/

Tewin (about 2 miles S.E. from Welwyn Station, G.N.R.) is most charmingly situated on high ground above the river Maran. The village is divided into the Upper and Lower Green; the church, � mile from the latter, stands on a hill that slopes steeply to the river. . Tewin Water, in the park, N.W., is prettily surrounded by trees. Beautiful walks may be taken in almost any direction, especially in the trend of the river Maran towards Digswell and Welwyn.
