Skeffington & Stories from Ireland
« on: Wednesday 22 June 05 18:12 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful for any information on the Skeffingtons & Stories who came over from Ireland. I can't find where in Ireland they are from. They settled in St Quivox. William Skeffington married Margaret Storie in Ayr parish or St Quivox in 1835 or 1836.I can't find their wedding.They had a large family & on the censuses that followed their names were spelt various ways. Skeffington, Skiffington, Skevington. Storie, Storrie & Story & Storey.
Margaret Storie was born in Ireland around 1819 her Father was Thomas Storie & her Mother Elizabeth Campbell. They are both on the 1841 census living in St Quivox.William Skeffington was born in Ireland around 1817, his Father was Louis Skeffington & his Mother ? Craig.
