Skrine Family History
 
 
Clarmont Alfred Skrine (1850-1937)
 
Clarmont Alfred Skrine (my great-grandfather) was born in the town of Douglas, Isle of Man, on April 25, 1850.  His father (Reverend Clarmont Skrine) was an officer in the British Army, later becoming a clergyman.
 

1851 Isle of Man Census: The Isle of Man Census (taken on March 30, 1851) shows the Skrine family residing at No. 6 Marina Terrace in the township of Conchan (Onchon?), near Douglas:  Claremont Skrine, age 31, Late Capt 47th Foot, his wife, Maryanne and their children Francis (age 3, b. Ireland), Charles (age 2, b. Ireland) and Claremont Alfred (age 1, b. Isle of Man). They have four servants.
 

1861 Census, England:
Alfred Skrine, age 11, born Isle of Man, appears to be boarding, along with a number of other "scholars", with a clergyman (Kirby) and his wife at Martello Villa, Owen Road, Folkstone, Kent, England.
Rev. Clarmont Skrine (1820-1886)
 

1850: My great-grandfahter, Clarmont Alfred Skrine, was born in the town of Douglas, Isle of Man, on April 25, 1850.  His father, Reverend Clarmont Skrine, had been a soldier before becoming a clergyman (more about this later).
 

1851:
 The Isle of Man Census (taken on March 30, 1851) shows Claremont Skrine, age 31, Late Capt 47th Foot, residing at No. 6 Marina Terrace in the township of Conchan (Onchon?) with his wife, Maryanne and their children Francis (age 3, b. Ireland), Charles (age 2, b. Ireland) and Claremont Alfred (age 1, b. Isle of Man). They have four servants. This is where we first learn that Clarmont Alfred Skrine is known by his second name, Alfred … probably to differentiate him from his younger brother, Claremont William. The Census finds the rest of Alfred's family (father, mother, six children, a visitor and six servants) living in Hadley, Somerset.
