There is much information to share and I have no idea as to the best way to do it.. I was amazed at the information that I hadnt gotten about the folks in England.. Prefer using the email system because I am familiar with it. So, keep in touch.

This is all so fascinating & exciting for my sister, Mary,  & I.  Joseph Skelton, brother of William, was our great-grandfather, married to Jane Ann Haug (Hogg) Harrington.  Our grandmother, Jane Skelton Harrington was his daughter (married to John Harrington).  We have been doing research through Ancestry.com & were thrilled to get this information.  It's one to find the relationships & statistics, but to hear the stories of who they really were is exactly what we've been longing to find.   Thanks so much.  My grandmother, Jane Skelton Harrington, passed away in 1969 and my dad, Jack Harrington died in 1998.  He would have been thrilled to hear of all of these amazing adventures.   We do  have a Skelton wedding picture as well as a picture of Joseph, Jane Ann, Jeremiah Skelton & Robert Skelton.  Bobbie (Jane)Harrington Henry

Skelton Family

Hi Sandra,  I am not related to the Skelton family, but in the late 1950's while in the Army stationed in Alaska near Anchorage my wife worked and became good friends with Karen Skelton, her husband was a Marine.  Upon my discharge from the service back in 1961 (summer) we went to visit Richard (Corky) and Karen in California and stayed with them.  Richard was stationed at El Torro at the time.  My wife, Judy kept in touch with Karen for a time and Karen told us about Richard and his father's tragic airplane crash.  Anyway I still have movies from our visit to California with Karen and Corky if your interested I can have them converted to DVD for you.

Hello Bob,

Welcome to Rootschat

Thank you very much for your message and kind offer.  I was working on the Skelton family for another Rootschatter - Woodlea so I have forwarded your message to her.  She will be delighted to hear from you and no doubt will contact you very soon.

Thank You Very Much
Sandra

Hello McCormick-Iona-IRE
Is your wife a descendant of William Skelton born 1850 Holme Cultram, Cumberland, England?
