Hi Sheila
Your query interests me because I’m currently doing some in-depth research into Manx Skelly/Skealley/Skeaylley etc families to try and disentangle the lines. I’m also very fond of research which includes Croit e Caley because that’s where my Kneen ancestors lived for many generations (at Croit e Caley House/Farm).
I can’t tell from your query whether you’ve already got the information listed below, following your Skelly line back to the grandparents of Mary Margaret Skelly. I’m still trying to identify the Charles Skelly who was the father of William Skelly b 1816. Here’s what I have so far:
