His father was George Keillor SKEA originally from ARBROATH was a carpenter then policeman in Strathclyde area. He married Alexina ANGUS COX JAMISON Skea also from Arbroath.

Hello Beverley, my mother in law was a Skea born Leith but family originated from the Orkneys. Wondered if there was a connection, as you say it's not a common name.

Hello Beverly, I have done quite a bit of research on the Skea name on and off over the years. I have been prompted to do more since visiting WW1 graves recently and coming across my gt uncle Thomas Soutar Skea. I believe the Keillor Skea strain of the Skea name is a different part to mine but we must have links at some stage . Please take a look at my tree to see if we have any links. (Not sure how we do this from here). My name is Peter Esplin Skea b. 1942. Cheers
