Mary Moss SKELTON

[jennyhenry]

Have anybody heard of the above name

All I know is she was born 1824 and died 1893, she was buried in St Edmunds churchyard in Southwold Suffolk.

I found this name in a bible I was given and would like to know more about her and what is the conection (The bible was a gift from her in 1861 but I don't know either who the bible belonged to)

I have found her grave stone on-line, but cannot find birth, marriage. I don't know if the Moss part is a christion name or surname

Hi jennyhenry,

The 1871 census shows Mary Moss Skelton married to John Skelton, and there's a mother Sarah Grimmer staying with the couple.

and also a marriage in 1861, Yarmouth
John Skelton - Mary Moss Grimmer

(GRO reference Dec 1861 Yarmouth 4b 14)
