Hi Joan,

Here is another Lonan family with sons John and Thomas. They are James Skillicorn and Eleanor Croaghan, who married at Lonan February 8, 1873. James was the son of Thomas Skillicorn and Christian Killey. Eleanor was the daughter of Thomas Croaghan. Does the marriage record of John or Thomas give their parents?

1881 census Lonan (64 Glen Rd) all born Lonan: James Skillicorn 33, lead miner; Ellaner 33; Frances 10; John J. 7; Thomas C. 6; Robert H. 3; Albert G. 8 m.
