Here are the entries from the Braddan marriage register for Thomas Skillicorn's first marriage to Ann Bell in 1834, and John Skillicorn's 1836 marriage to Cath Kelly. John's signature in 1836 looks the same as the witness signature for Thomas's 1834 marriage. I believe that they were probably brothers, both sons of William Skillicorn, weaver, and Isabella Quayle (John b 1804 and Thomas b 1807).

Census listings for John show that he was a weaver --- he probably inherited his father's loom etc ?
