I have just discovered that the James Skillicorn who married Eleanor (Ellen) Skillicorn, daughter of John and Ann (Killup) Skillicorn, cannot be the son of John and Jane (Kelly) Skillicorn. John and Jane's son James was still living with his mother in the 1851 census of Lonan p.33, (Claphera ??) Jane Skillicorn 60, Freeholder of 27 acres; James 31, ag. lab; Robt 27, mining lab. Wm Corkish 10, grandson.

"My" James is living with his wife Ellen and their children at Ballacannell, her parents' farm. The census states that "my" James was born in German, and is 31 years old. I can't find a James born in German at that time. Can anyone help? (In one census in the U. S., he is listed as James T. Skillicorn.)
