QThomas (1730–1792) and Mary (1740–1810) Skeffington were my 6x great grandparents. They had seven children, all christened at St Benet Paul’s Wharf, London. Benjamin and Joseph Sceffington were also christened there on 20. Their parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Sceffington, but I can’t find this couple in any other records. Date-wise Joseph and Benjamin would fit into Thomas and Mary’s family nicely. Do you think that there might be a mistake in the records? I’m also looking for Thomas and Mary’s parents.
