Father: David Skeoch, Iron Moulder, res. 85 Denmark Street, Glasgow. Mother:Agnes Rankine, Pottery worker, res. 79 Denmark Street, Glasgow. Both born 1870 acc. to marriage cert; though Agnes' 1901 Census indic. 1872. Married 4 jun 1890. Grandparents: John Skeoch (d. bef 4 jun 1890), Coalminer (prob. also 85 Denmark Street) as brother John (witness marr.) was also at this address; & Elizabeth Gebbie (?). Grandparents: James Rankine, Coalminer & Elizabeth McConnell. James Skeoch also had another brother John (b. 1890) who died at 2 years of age, i think; in addition to the 2 sisters mentioned as stepdaghters (to Thomas Black)in the Scottish 1901 Census. As one family tree indicates James went to Quebec, i think it was the wrong one for me. anyway, all the best, mandiwand. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
