Im not sure but I think they are, Im helping a friend with this research, but I know alot of the Skymes in her family are from that area._ I have traced 7 generations of them for her. Its the Walkleys that have stuck.

Re my last post (looking for Martha Mary Walkley 1887 and her mother Mary. - Martha's mother is Mary Ann Walkley, no father. I think that Mary's mother maybe Martha Walkley b.abt. 1843 Culmstock, Devon, who married William Keeble (b.abt 1835 USA) in 1867 Culmstock, Devon. On the 1871 census there is a Mary Ann Keeble born 1867 Culmstock Devon, I cant find a birth for a Mary Ann Keeble but I can for a Mary Ann Walkley, she was born before they married in the 1st qt 1867. The marriage took place 3rd qt 1867. What do you think. Mind you I still cant place mother Mary and daughter Martha together on 1891, 1901 census, I just cant find them.

SEE LAST POST WITH BIRTH DETAILS

Hi I'm trying to find Mary Martha Walkley born Wellington Devon Somerset 3rd qt 1887. I cant find her on any census. She married William J Skyrme in 1951 in East Glamorgan, Wales. They lived together for years before making it legal, they married when one of their children married. I have traced William Skyrmes family but would love to find Mary Martha Walkey's parents sibblings. I would be greatful for any help, I tried to find her on the 1891,1901 Wales and UK census but no joy. Thanks
