Hi Maisie I chacked the records at the Irish History Foundation website and only found these in the indexes: Civil Birth Skiffinton Patrick 1826 Co. Tyrone Civil Birth Skiffinton Patrick 1826 Co. Tyrone Church Baptism Skeffington Patrick 1827 Co. Sligo It may not be the right Patrick Skeffingtons for you, as I imagine yours was born before 1826 but could be related. The tithe applotment books record the following Skeffingtons paying tithes for land in Co Tyrone: Arthur Skevington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Mullaghmargret 1826 Francis Skevington Location: Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Edendork 1826 Francis Skevington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Edendork 1826 Peeter Skevington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Edendork 1826 Peter Skevington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Sessagh 1826 Bernard Skiffington Tyrone, Donaghmore, Tulleynure 1826 Bernd.

Skiffington Tyrone, Pomeroy, Lisnagleer 1829 Hugh Skiffington Tyrone, Pomeroy, Gortfad 1829 John Skiffington Tyrone, Donaghmore, Moughan 1826 Patt. Skiffington Tyrone, Pomeroy, Gortfad 1829 Edwd. Skivington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Cullion 1826 John Skivington Tyrone, Tullyniskan, Lower Drumreagh 1826 Jno. Skiffington Tyrone, Pomeroy, Gortfad 1829 I know there is nothing concret for you but may help with parishes to look at for yours as well as a few variant spellings of the surname to bear in mind.
