Title: Skelton & Chicken
Post by: CB on Thursday 23 August 07 09:29 BST (UK)

I am looking for the parents of William Skelton b c1730 and his wife Margaret Chicken. They where both born Chester-le-Street.
William and Margaret married Nov 1750.

Any help or suggestions, Please.

Durham records online has a baptism entry for a Margaret  Chicken in 1741 in Gateshead. Could she be a relly or maybe an adult baptism?

Margaret Chicken's (1848-1900) parent's Joseph Chicken (b. 21 Oct 1805 Longbenton, d. 1861 Easington) and Elizabeth Gray (b. 1811 Longbendon d. 1869 Houghton Le Spring).

Thanks for the reply chriswynn, the Margaret Chicken I am still trying to establish parents for was born around 1730ish.
Her father my have been Joseph b c1700, but really not sure.

If this is William's death/burial in 1804 then he was born about 1724

going by children's names it is possible William was the son of Anthony and Margaret was the daughter of George.
