Carol 02

I thought that Mary Elizabeth was the daughter of Harriet and George not Harriet and Henry Bolt. Which is correct?

Welcome back Koala.

Yes, Mary Elizabeth who married Fred Worrall was the daughter of George and Harriet (nee Harrod) Skelcey. It was another of their daughters, also Harriet, who married Ernest Eden and Henry Bolt  - my post of Oct 2nd gives as much of her background as I know. This Harriet seems to have later used her middle name Eva.

Hi Clive,

Carol has found that Lucy and Daisy Skelcey died as babies the same years they were born, sadly. Harriet Eva is the interesting one - see further up this thread.

Are you the Clive who's a cousin of Phil (Malin)? Your tree seems to have disappeared from GenesReunited.

Hi Chris,
   Just picked up the message about the babies-that is so sad.How goes your Tree?
                       All the best,
                          Carla

PS.Who's Clive & am I related to him?

Hi Carla,

It seems that you are descended from William "Skelcher" Skelcey b 1796 by his daughter Sarah. Clive, like Carol and Phil, is descended from his son John. I'm from a different branch.

Can you still see my tree at GenesReunited? If not, I'll send you a PM about somewhere else to see it.

Hi Chris,
            I can still get the tree up but my computer won't load your whole tree so the other address may be a good idea!
 I think this computer needs a bigger memory!Thanks.
                             All the best,
                               Carla
