Skelton& Ewbank

[Lazarus]

I am trying to find the parents of Anne Skelton bC1798.
She married C1826 in County Antrim.
However I have found a marriage Coxwold of Robert Skelton to Susannah Ewbank who had a family of 10 children late 1700s early 1800s.
Unfortunately Anne bC1798 is correct time scale but Robert and Anne have a daughter Anne b1786 already accounted for.

The Skelton /Ewbank connection fits but cannot establish that my Anne belongs to this family.

I have a William Skelton Ewbank Charters from County Antrim who came to Australia.

I would greatly appreciate help in solving this mystery.

Just a thought...( two cents worth? )
Hanna, Anna and Anne considered interchangeable...could she perhaps have been the Hannah? J.J.

Thank you JJ
I have considered the possibility.This is a long standing problem.
It seems too much of a co-incidence that the names Skelton and Ewbank should connect to my Charters family.I need to find the parents of Anne Skelton.Not necessarily Coxwolds.Could be Ireland.

Hi, Lazarus...

[New Rooter]

Skelton and Ewbank The Coxwold marriage is not the only one. George Ewbank of York 1711-Jan 1787, droggist and banker, married Elizabeth Skelton of York whose father William Skelton was lord mayor. They married in October 1737 at St Olave York and she died in December 1755. Robin Ewbank, Hampshire, England

Good morning New Rooter.Welcome to RootsChat.
You have probably noticed that I am researching my Charters family.My grandmother was a Charters.
Her father was Clarence Hooper Charters and his brother William Skelton Ewbank (Melbourne) Charters.
I am trying to determine the Skelton and Ewbank connection.
The father of Clarence and William was James Charters 1794-1861 who I understand was an army captain and farmer.He married Ann Skelton 1798-1871,probably in County Antrim.
They lived "Glendona" Gobrana and a both buried Muckamore Cemetery.
If he had been serving overseas it is possible he met and married Anne Skelton possibly in England.The Ewbank/Skelton marriage may be a positive lead.Can you please tell me more?

I have never researched the Skeltons. I suspect that William of York may be one and the same as or very closely related to William and Barbara Skelton of Aislaby, Middleton, Yorks, as our family later had many connections with Aislaby, Middleton. George Ewbank's son Andrew was curate and met his wife there. William Skelton of Aislaby has a will dated 18 Jan 1737 and proved 28.Jan 1747. Robin Ewbank
