HI all,

I am trying to find info on Edward Skinner born 1869 in Inverurie, Scotland and trained as an architect. He studied in England and then moved to Colombo in about 1893 where he was an architect for the public works dept. He eventually founded his own business and was well known.

I know that he designed the Victoria Eye Hospital and part of the Galle Face Hotel. He also adapted plans for the Masonic Temple which were originally drawn up in England. I have info on his work through the RIBA but am looking for more about him in particular.

I believe he passed away in 1911, I don't know where through.

Can anyone help me trace this ancestor in Colombo?

Grateful for any help

Liesl
