A Reverend. One of four brothers three of whom were entomologists : Dr Fenwick Skrimshire, William Skrimshire (Junior) and himself. Published ‘A Catalogue of Coleopterous Insects collected in a few hours at Wisbech, with a note of M. Haworth.’ in Trans.ESL, 1812, pp.315-322. I haven't seen this paper but Darren Mann informs me that it is an extremely usefuln resource on the brothers (MD 11/04, 2/20)
