Hi,
You are seeking information on Leah Skevington, Samuel Richardson's daughter. I have a list of his 12 children, but don't see a Leah. Could it be Lucy maybe? I have friend who has done lots of work on this family, who's ancestor is Samuel Richardson Skevington.
There is one unamed infant born 1799, perhaps that is her.
Rachel Skevington.

RachelSkevington27 — 2008-02-28 18:22:26Z

I have a Lucy Skevington b 1785 daughter of Samuel Richardson Skevington.

Her sister Ann b1799 = William Benjamin Poole, in Turvey in 1818. My husband Phil Skevington, shares the same ancestors as a lady, who did a lot of research and helped us greatly. This lady has Samuel listed with 12 children, but on her list I don't see a Leah, she and she also sent us a sketch of him.

Regards,
Rachel.

Hi all readers,

I am a third generation Skevington in Sydney, Australia, looking for further information regarding my Grandfather's parents and before. He was Charles Skevington (Born 189?), now deceased, but still has two brothers living who don't seem to know much about their Mum and Dad from England.

There is not many of us in this country (my brother and I are doing our best to change that).

I will push for more information but just wanted to connect up with some other namesakes in the meantime.

All the best.

Hi Cynthia
The 1881 Cenus shows George Henry born 1870 living in the lovely little village of Turvey in Bedfordshire with his father Thomas a Retired Burcher and his mother Elizabeth Mary Rogers who is a Dressmaker. they also had a Housekeeper and 2 Boarders.
The reference for the marriage should you wish to order the marriage cert is June quarter 1869 Bedford District Volume 3b Page 523.
Thomas 's birth ref September 1838 Bedford District Volume 6 Page 48.
I suspect that Thomas was the son of Edward Skevington a Farmer and Mary Hulat who married at Oakley 1st Nov 1827.
Edward was born Turvey @1803.
Ther are Skevingtons in Ryurvey back to 1551 and they are still living there now.
I will let you know more when i get it.

Regards

David

Hi Cnthia
I will check the BMD Index when I am in London next, but the only way to be sure, is to find tour ancestors death cert which will have his age at the date of death or his naruralications papers in Canada should have his age.

Born & bred on Skeavington's Lane. The Cotmanhay Farm Estate was built on the Skeavington Farm Land late 1940's/1950's.
Skeavington's Lane is still there although in the middle of a housing estate.
Very little else named after Skeavington Family, I assume were wealthyish farmers. Skeavington's land is marked on old maps.
