Re: Catherine Kermode, wife of Henry Skillicorn

Hi, John,

Yes! I see your point re the similarities of the children's names in the two wills. I don't know why I never noticed that. Interesting that the house in Douglas is mentioned first in connection with James, and then in connection with Elinor.

On closer inspection, I think you are right. There is no Thomas-Joney Killey. The Judy buried in June 1798 with her husband Thomas is not given a surname. I think I got her mixed up with the Joney Skillicorn will 1805-2 wife of Philip, whose MI D13 does identify her as Judith als Killey. Sorry for the confusion.

So then I have to figure out the Thomas buried Sept 16, 1811 Will: 1812E (0106415) sons Thomas, Philip; daughter Eleanor executrix

Eagerly awaiting the next correction to my thinking!
