yates family of lancashire

[CaroleW]

John Skene was 36 when he died in 1843 so born around 1807.  5 possibilities on freebmd for his baptism/parents but without more info it's difficult to say

Doesn't sound as though there was a marriage to Ellen given she married in 1850 as Yates and as a spinster

ooh thats really brilliant.

thank you all for your searching.

i had noticed Rriet skene, but assumed it would be harriet, so didnt track her any further.

thanks for solving my puzzle
