Been a while, but i have managed to get a few dates that could prove helpful, sadly the name Robert follows tradition.
I have worked back to Robert Miskelly, b: 26 Nov 1865, d: 1933, married to Lizzie Ann, nee Fowles. Roberts mum and dad was called Robert & Margaret Miskelly, nee Flannigan.
Hope that maybe of any help
Thanks, Kelly

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, been a while i know, but had some researching to do on these names.
Yes you are correct, these are the correct people.
You mentioned ros davies site, have not heard of it??

hi kelly,

i cant help with anything on robert or his siblings but this could be their parents marriage,it could be the lily you mentioned;

robert miskelly married elizabeth fowels 8-apr-1890
ballycopeland presbyterian church
donaghadee parish
civil district of newtownards

there's no way of knowing if these are the right parents but would be worth keeping note off until you gather more information. have you looked at ros davies site yet?

Yes, i've seen this list, Samuel, James and Lizzie Ann were my GG Uncles and aunt, Robert was my Great Grandad.
Thanks for replying

Miskellys, Newtownards mentioned here already:

I wrote this message a while back, and have now discovered that in fact, Lizzie Ann & Robert are my GG grandad and nan, Samuel is my ggg uncle.


I have now discovered that  Samuel, James and Lizzie Ann Miskelly are my 2x great uncles and aunt. Robert Miskelly is my  Great Grandad.  It has been mentioned that his dad was also called Robert Miskelly who was married to 'Lily'. I have no idea as how to find out this info.
I am only just starting to TRY an do my Miskelly family tree, but as my grandad has recently passed away, there are no more of his family living, i'm finding this pretty tough.
If anyone can make any suggestions it would be very much appreciated.

The 'Miskelly' name seems to still have been around in Newtownards area in 1912. No ages on following but thought I would post them for you in hope that one day you may be able to tie one or two in as perhaps being relatives of your line who moved to England:

I am the Grand-daughter of a Robert Miskelly. He was born and raised in Newtownards, Co Down in 1927, but moved to London in the late 1940's I saw your posting and you seem to want info on the Miskelly's. If there's anyway i can help, let me know.
