Hello Lois,
We have had 'conversations' before ref. the Skillicorns of Lonan,and by now you will know that Thomas Davies & Catherine Cashen were Janes parents.Yes John died 26th October 1831 at the Cairn,He was 66yrs of age.
It's quite possible that John was married before, but as there are so many John Skillicorn's listed on the Mormon records, it's hard to pin it down, especially as the only name I have for his father is John Skillicorn!!
I had James born 1821 but there's obviously an error there as on the Mormon record James was born in 1830, panic over, you have'nt lost a child.
You know Edith, she is still sorting the Lonan Skillicorns, one day all our questions will be answered!!
To tell you the truth I haven't looked for Estate administration For John or Jane. I would be interested to know of any advance in research your side of the pond on these Skillicorns since we last corresponded, please keep in touch,
Goldie
