Manx Genealogy

Catherine Kermode, wife of Henry Skillicorn

Who was Catherine Kermode? Can anyone identify her parents, or further children? When did she die?

Henry Skillicorn (Philip - Mary Garrett, Thomas - Joney Quay, Thomas - Ann Cowin, William - ?) was baptized at Lonan, October 30, 1743, and was buried at Lonan, July 28,1806. He married, in Lonan, February 7, 1765, Catherine Kermode.

Henry Skillicorn’s 1806 will is not very helpful, in terms of identifying descendants. It does seem to indicate, however, that he left only one son (Thomas).
