Title: SKELCY
Post by: carol02 on Friday 19 November 04 16:27 GMT (UK)
Hi
   Can anyone help me locate Imri Skelcy. he married in the district of DUDLEY in 1878. He is nowhere to be found on the 1881 census. I have tried variations of the surname.     
                Thanks

Hi Nicky
             Thanks for trying but its not the right Imri. He was christened in1855 so he would be about 26/27.Have you seen the name Imri before? I would like to know where it is from.

Hi Kathy M
                    No I don't know who he married. FreeBMD lists Emma Hollyhead and Maria Tew so it could be either.

(Ĭmīrī) , in the Bible. 1 Judahite. Probably the same as Amariah 8. 2 Father of a builder of the walls. found this must be an old bible name hope this helps

Hi KathyM
                Thanks for trying but its not the right one. His fathers name is John and he is living in Warwickshire. I have seen the surname spelt Skelsey. Keep trying.

Hi Megabelly
                  Thanks for that information. I wouldn't have thought of looking in the Bible.
