Warwickshire / Re: SKELCY/SKELCHER Surname
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 14:00 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone managed to find a link between the Skelcher/Skelcy families in Cubbington and those in Oxford, especially North Newington, Broughton, Hornton, Cropedey?
I have John Skelcher (1810) marrying Mary Dumbleton (1810). They had George (1834) who married Mary Prichard and they had Walter Daniel Skelcher who was my ggrandad. I have managed to find John Skelcher (1810) parents William Skelcher(1871) and Mary Leadbetter and think that William's parents may be William Skelcher and Elizabeth Denty but this is only guess work. I would like to try and find out who William(1871) siblings were and obviously trace those Skelchers. Went to Oxford record office on Friday and although the girl behind the counter was helpful the actual records themselves were not so. Trying to work from the Bishops Trascrips and pick out which William belongs to which branch of the family when no father or address is listed has proved to be a big problem. I have looked at all the census records but by 1841 all the people I need to sort out have married and are not living with parents so again another dead end.
Has anyone managed to link all the Skelcher families and be able to point me in a more useful direction than bishop transcripts?
?? Any help/advice gratefully received. Karen
