Hi Annepat and Welcome to the TalkingScot website! I'm not sure the time period that you're looking for but a quick parent search of the IGI gives two children born to Patrick Skelton and Anne Byrne. Any chance this is the right family?? What year was do you think John Skelton was born in Glasgow?

1. PATRICK SKELTON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 17 MAR 1866 0067, Bangor, Mayo, Ireland

2. JOSEPH SKELTON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 09 MAR 1864 0061, Bangor Erris, Mayo, Ireland

Hope we can help you further....

Best wishes
Jean

HI JUST JAEAN, AND MANY THANKS.
I DON.T KNOW IF MY JOHN SKELTON WAS BORN IN GLASGOW MORE LIKELY HE WAS BORN IN IRELAND TO PATRICK SKELTON AND ANNE BOURNE, APPROXIMATELY 1860, HE WAS MARRIED IN GLASGOW AT THE AGE OF 32

Hi Anne?,

I'm not being critical but lots of your requests are very vague. In order for folk to help efficiently it's a good idea to add a few first names, dates of events etc. if you have them.

This may not apply now on this thread but there are others.
