Skelton& Ewbank

[New Rooter]

My information on Anne 1786 is limited. She was the oldest child and born 19th April 1786 at Yearsley and baptised Coxwold on 28th April. I do not have her marriage detail. If the first Anne  died there is of course possible potential room for a second Anne 1798 but no obvious evidence to her existence, which would be strange as the others are all well documented. Mary was born 6.4.1797 and Hannah 29.12.1802. I have birth and baptism details of the ten children as it is. Robin

Found your reference to the will of William Skelton - I have been looking for the origins of William for many years and although I have much information on the descendants of William's son Robert and Susanna Ewbank - the origin of William before his marriage to Barbara Swales in 1758 is something of a mystery - I wonder if you could post a fuller transcript of the will - or even better point me in the direction of obtaining a copy - your DOB is different to the one I have been working with (1722) - so even that has bee an aid - hope you see this as this topic seems to be quite an old one - len

Good morning Marshallen
Very early morning here so this is just to let you know I have read your message.I do need to revisit the papers I have on this topic in order that I have a better recollection of  it all.
Are you aware that you need to make one more posting to this site before you can activate the PM system.
Once this is done,we can exchange email addresses.
I have made an attempt at transcribing the original Will document but there are some gaps.Perhaps I should make a further attempt.
The document I have appears to be dated 15 Jul 1780,slightly smudged and a challenge to interpret.
I will try and come up with something later.
