Hello Mr Skelly,
Thanks for answering my message.
My Skelly/Maddrell family connection goes back quite a way and I would be interested to
find out what happened to the family. that is why I put the message on the board.
My ancestors were John Skealy(Skelly) and Mary Maddrell who married 11 January 1808 in
Marown. John was born in Malew and Mary in Arbory and a while after their marriage they
moved to live in Ballaugh. Their children were:- John b. 1811, Ann b. 1815, Catherine
b.1818, William b.1822, Christian b.1825, Margaret b.1828 and Henry Edward b.1833. The
family lived at Gliack House, Ballaugh in 1841 and 1851.
One of the witnesses at their wedding was Charles Maddrell but I haven't been able to
find him anywhere at all yet.
That is all I know at the moment. if you can trace either of your relations back a bit
you may find that they are connected to mine. I have the Skelly/Skeally family on CD-ROM
going back into the 1600's so if you ever want a copy just ask.
Your Ned Maddrell sounds a fascinating character; how lucky you are to have him in your
family!
Thanks again for getting in touch.

Best wishes.....Eileen Rennie
