In Response To: Re: Ellen Goldsmith ()

Yes, that's certainly strange. There is no doubt that "my Daughter Elinor wife of Thomas Goldsmith" was the daughter of Ann Skillicorn otherwise Quayle wife of Philip Skillicorn in her will.
Unless she was her step-mother but having brought her up considered her to be her daughter. There was also a son James mentioned by his father but not on the IGI.

Yes - you are spot-on!
