There is a retired vet living in Angmering, Sussex, called William Ewbank Skelton who is a grandson of the 1868 William Ewbank Skelton from Malton. He believes that it is the Coxwold connection rather than the York one in his line. I spoke to him a few months ago. Robin

[New Rooter]

The male children of Robert Skelton and Susannah Ewbank were William born 21.3.1790 and baptised at Coxwold on 31st March same year, Robert b 1.1.1794 and baptised at Coxwold on 22nd January same year. Robert died at Malton in 1866 and was an agricultural labourer. He had a large family. The third boy was George Skelton b 3.7.1806 and baptised at Coxwold on 14th July 1806. The Ewbank Skeltons of the Malton area are almost certainly grandchildren or great grandchildren of one or more of these three boys. (There were also seven girl siblings). Robin

I have found William Ewbank Skelton 1868 Malton. He was son of John Skelton b Marton and baptised Sinnington 19.9.1830 and Hannah Walker (1837-1907). John was son of Robert Skelton (details in my last posting) who married Elizabeth Clarke (1799-1874). For completion of this loop William Ewbank Skelton (actually registered as William Hewbank Skelton) married Emma Massey in Malton first quarter of 1892. Their grandson is the William Ewbank Skelton of Angmering Sussex. Robin

Thank you New Rooter.
I am reconstructing the data you have kindly provided and will attempt to fit this to what I already know.
Much appreciated.

Robert Ewbank Skelton 1867 was also a grandson of Robert Skelton. His father George was born Marton and baptised Sinnington 26.1.1834. So the two Ewbank Skeltons of the 1860s were first cousins. Susannah Ewbank must have been quite a formidable influence on family lore to have kept the influence of her name so long! Her family incidentally is a very large branch of my Ewbank family.

Hello Robin
I need to unravel a lot of the data I have.I may need to work on it tomorrow my time.
I have a copy of the Will of William Skelton of Yearsley signed Jul 1780.
In it he makes a bequest to his oldest daughter Ann Skelton of Malton.He also speaks of his daughter Barbara Skelton.
He also makes a bequest to his loving wife Barbara Skelton and his son Robert Skelton who were joint executors.
I have William Skelton living 1715-1780.He married 17 Jan 1758 Coxwold Barbara Swales 1722-1799.
I believe that it was their son Robert Skelton who married 1785 Coxwold,Susanna Ewbank.I need to verify this.
Unless I am mistaken, it was Robert and Susannah who had 10 children including Anne b1786 who may have married a Charters.I am uncertain about this.
The Ann (Skelton) Charters I am looking for was born 1798 and died 1871 aged 73.
Ann (Skelton) Charters and James Charters are both buried in a large Charters family grave at Muckamore.
I think it possible I could be missing a generation unless there was a second marriage.
Please note this line starts back in the 1700s.
Thanks for your help.

The Coxwold family is the only connection found so far close enough to the birth of Anne that might produce more Skelton, although not unusual for a previous Skelton/Ewbank relationship to come back around to a Skelton relationship later in the century...... Just pointing out that these 2 families were traditional in using the ancestor's surnames in their family's names as well... Lazarus, you had said the Anne was accounted for from this couple... has anyone found the Hannah accounted for in later marriage/census ? Although age doesn't fit...

Ah just saw there was a page 2, so Lazarus, the other Anne wasn't accounted for after all?
