A Plea for Help !!! I am still trying to complete a 'one name' study for the surname SKILLEN. I would love to hear from anyone who has any Skillen's in their family tree with links in the Lancashire or Cheshire area, particularly Liverpool and Wirral (Birkenhead and Wallasey). Although I am interested in Skillen's anywhere. Many thanks to those who have already been in touch, your information has been stored and I will contact you when I can link you to the study. Any information really would be appreciated, Carol Skillen

Hi, my name is Michelle Pemberton (nee Skillen). My grandfather was Thomas Skillen born in Hamilton, Scotland in 1903, to Thomas Skillen and Margaret Forster. He immigrated to Australia, don't know when, and married Ivy May Clarke in 1942 in Melbourne and lived there until he died in 1979.
If you have any information that may link to him I would greatly appreciate it, as I have had great difficulty in tracing back any further.

Kind regards,
Michelle
