London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1901 Skyvington (3 individuals)
« on: Thursday 08 September 05 18:39 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all that data.

Additional information (to get the picture straight):

The census employee was not a first-class speller. Marie (whose full given name was Marie-Thérèse) came from the Belgian capital whose name is spelt Brussels in English. Frank came from the Dorset village named Iwerne Courtney, also known as Shroton, near Blandford Forum.

Thanks very much. That's exactly the information I needed. Ernest Skyvington was my grandfather, and the Frank Skyvington was Ernest's grandfather (who was a widower when he married the much older Belgian lady).

This is extremely useful data for me!

Thanks so much.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / 1901 Skyvington (3 individuals)
« on: Thursday 08 September 05 17:04 BST (UK)  »
I would be thankful if somebody were to provide me with three records from the 1901 census.

On the Archives service, there are 21 individuals named Skyvington. Strangely, only 18 names come up on the (currently free) Ancestry site. The three missing individuals happen to interest me greatly:

-- Ernest Skyvington (Hornsey)
-- Frank Skyvington (London)
-- Marie Skyvington (London)

The civil parish of the two Londoners has a curious lengthy name:

St Andrews Holborn Above the Bars with St George the Martyr.

One Name Studies: N to S / SKEFFINGTON
« on: Sunday 28 August 05 00:29 BST (UK)  »
I use the term "patronymic" to designate a class of surnames whose instances have trivial spelling variations. I am studying the Skeffington patronymic, which originated in the Leicestershire village of that name following the Conquest. It has given rise to surnames such as Skevington, Skiffington, Skivington, etc. The current version of my monograph on this subject can be downloaded (zipped PDF files) from the following website:

A major Skeffington branch, which flourished in Ireland, is represented by the viscountcy of Massereene. Lewis Carroll was a descendant of this branch.

In a forthcoming version of the monograph, I shall be presenting details of links from Edward III to Skeffington descendants.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Re: Belchalwell, Dorset lookup for 1805!!
« on: Saturday 20 August 05 14:50 BST (UK)  »
This is not really a reply, but rather an extension of the previous request. I am researching the name SKIVINGTON in the region of Blandford Forum, Okeford Fitzpaine, Shillingstone, etc. I am interested in the case of George SKIVINGTON who was born around 1670 in Belchalwell. He married Mary HALLET at Shillingstone in 1695.

Maybe I should start a new thread for requests in this field...

I've placed downloadable files with my research results at

Ireland / Re: Skeffingtons & Stories from Ireland
« on: Friday 19 August 05 17:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I've just discovered this forum. So, I'm not familiar with its style, etc.

I noticed the Skeffington surname. I've started to write a document on people with this name. You can download chapters of the current version (which I need to update as soon as possible) at

http://gamone.free.fr/skeffington

You can find my work by using the name "william skyvington" with Google.
