About The Skelton Deakins
This web site is about the Skelton-Deakin
'dynasty' from Barnsley and beyond.
Although some branches of my paternal
family tree can be traced back to the
Worsbrough, Ecclesfield and Stainborough
area to the 1600s, most of my ancestors
came to the Barnsley district from
Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, Staffordshire,
Worcestershire and Shropshire to work in
the coal mines.
My DNA results are 78.4%
Irish/Scottish/Welsh; 14.6% English; 5.3%
Scandinavian and 1.7% Italian.
The information in these pages has been
assembled from Census Returns; Birth,
Death and Marriage Certificates; the
International Genealogical Index; the
National Archives; Libraries and Archives;
local History Societies and verbal
history. To the best of my knowledge the
information is correct and where there is
any doubt I have tried to make this clear.
If you have anything you would like to
contribute to this website, please contact
me (Dawn Skelton-Johnson).
Thank you
