Skevington's of Bedford Bedfordshire

**tawyn** · 26-02-2011 12:41 PM

I'm looking for christening records of some Skevington's born in Bedford Bedfordshire who moved to St Mary Lambeth London before 1824. I believe they are all siblings as they been witnesses at the marriages of each other & each other's children. 2 of them also lived only a few doors apart in the 1851 census.

Looking for christenings & parents of:
Ann Skevington b.~1801 All born Bedford, Bedfordshire. (Not Turvey, Bedfordshire)
John Skevington b.~1803
Samuel Skevington b.~1796
and possibly William Skevington approx birthdate unknown.

None of them appear on familysearch.org, freereg or ancestry, so I'm hoping someone has access to other Bedfordshire records that I don't.

Regards Tawyn

Thanks Bronson, but unlikely any are related.

I guess Lucy Elizabeth could be a sister if the family moved to London between 1803 & 1806.
