Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Another Ellusive Skelly Daughter!

Hi Janet

Have recently just read the Will of David Boyd and it's obvious he trusted greatly in his nephew Adam Skelly.  The fact that Adam was also determined to rest alongside his uncle (despite the distance and undoubted expense) may tell us that they were very close indeed.

When I have the time, I'll sent a photo of their memorial:- my e-mail is: puddleford@gmaIL.com

Regards..........Billy

Hi Janet

It may interest you to know that your ancestor Adam Skelly is buried alongside his uncle David Boyd in Irvine Old Parish kirkyard.  Their memorial is a grave-slab which reads:
