Thanks for that She I wonder if they went somewhere else then. Perhaps Canada. I'll drop Jan a line then if she's got some Skeltons. You never know! Cheers! Jeanette

SKELTON, Elizabeth <1831> Underwriter 1860 Age: 29 Origin: England Occ: Spinster Note: BMR, p. 151; Listed on the Underwriter [30 Mar 1860]. "Refuses to go" (BMR). SKELTON, Rachel <1837> Underwriter 1860 Age: 23 Origin: England Occ: Spinster Note: BMR, p. 151; Listed on the Underwriter [30 Mar 1860]. "Refuses to go" (BMR). but it looks as though she went later SKELTON, Rachel <1838> John Bright 1866 Age: 28 Occ: Spinster Note: BMR, p.211 they were the only Skeltons listed on the immigration discs by the way - Jan in York has Skeltons in her tree - wonter if they are related??????

I recently found some ancestors of mine on the 1881 British Census. There is no trace of them on the 1891 or 1901 censuses. I have a hunch that they may have emmigrated to the USA as many of my ancestors siblings had already gone there (I was given the info about the siblings from my cousin in the US). How would I find out if this particular family had gone too? Thanks. Jeanette
