James was baptised on 14 November 1651 at St Michael’s, Betchworth in Surrey, one of 6 children.<\/p>\n

The village of Betchworth is 7 miles from Effingham.<\/p>\n

Betchworth is a village in the\u00a0Mole Valley\u00a0district of\u00a0Surrey, England. The village centre is on the north bank of the\u00a0River Mole almost 3 miles (4.8\u00a0km) east of\u00a0Dorking\u00a0and 3 miles (4.8\u00a0km) west of\u00a0Reigate. London is 19.5 miles (31.4\u00a0km) north of the village.<\/p>\n

James married Mary around 1677, but I’ve been unable to find the marriage in Betchworth, despite searching the registers. They had seven children –<\/p>\n

  2. James b 1679 Betchworth<\/li>\n
  3. Elizabeth b 1682 & d 1686 Effingham<\/li>\n

    It appears James farmed in the Betchworth area over the years of birth for his first two children, and then between 1679 and 1682 moved about 7 miles east to Effingham, where the remaining five were baptised.<\/p>\n

    Mary Skilton died in August 1715 at Effingham aged 59, and was buried at St Lawrence, Effingham on 30 August 1715.<\/p>\n

    James Skilton died in November 1727 at Effingham, Surrey aged 76 years and was buried in Effingham on 3 November 1727.<\/p>\n
