Hi Carol

Hi Deb

          Glad I was able to help.  The surname changes to SKELCY. It is spelt SKELSEY on the1881 census. Yes it would be good if you came across any to let me know.

Hi Carol

I'm glad you've confirmed the surname change because I wasn't 100% certain that Skelcy & Skelcher were the same.  I wonder if we'll come across any more variations!!!

Hi Deb
          How did you know the name changed from Skelcher to Skelcy?  The 1851 census has them down as Skeley. I hope there are'nt anymore variations as  it is so confusing.  Some are missing on the 1881 census. I have tried every spelling and can't find them anywhere. They turn up on the1901 census in Rugby as Skelcy.

Hi Carol

I only found out by chance.  I put a message on a message board ages ago looking for Skelcy and someone suggested I try Skelcher as an alternative which was lucky as I don't think I'd have thought of this variation.  How on earth did they get from Skelcy to Skelcher?
