Christian name mystery - Smollett

[aussie researcher]

Thanks Sharonjury,

I'd have to guess we could very well be related.
I don't have a Marion Sked but I do have other Sked's from the same area.
I have Margaret Sked Born 1772-1776 who married Alexander Henderson in Dunbar in 1796.
They had 11 children one who was Smollett.
Would love to know more of what you have on the Sked line.

IGI has the 1831 Cramond birth, but the mother is listed as Margaret Henderson.

Hi, I have a Smollett in my family tree. She was born in 1829. Her father was John Iles & mother Marion Sked. Marion was born in East Lothian in 1786, died 1859.

Just had another look and have now worked out yes Marion is connected.
She is the sister of my Margaret Sked who I'm descendant from.
Where do you fit in this family?
Send me private message if you like.

Happy New Year to all readers.
Interesting find Tom.
Now makes me wonder if the Smollett name comes down the Henderson or the Sked families.
My search goes on, as we know never ending 
The Hendersons and Skeds are on my family tree, hope one day I will get to the bottom of it.
I have thought it might have come from Tobias Smollett but cant find anything yet.
thanks everyone for you help over the years.
Happy researching
