I thought I would have a reasonably straightforward trail to follow once I found a baronet in my researches, but have hit an immediate brick wall as I can't find a Skeffington baronet who fits the date below. The only reference I have to him is from a brief marriage notice in the Bury and Norwich Post, issue number 1821, published on Wednesday 1st May, 1817 which I came across when researching the Champain family:
At St Mary-le-Bone Church, Sir Wm Skeffington, Bart to the beautiful and accomplished Miss Champain, eldest daughter of John Champain, Esq of Glocester-place, New-road. (all places mentioned are in London.)
I know that John Champain's eldest daughter was Ann Champain, born 11 Aug 1793, probably in India as John Champain married his wife Margery Mackintosh in Calcutta in October 1788 and served in the Bengal Civil Service in the 1790s. She was the 4th of his nine children (6 sons, 3 daughters)
Can anyone shed any further light on William Skeffington, Ann Champain and any children there may have been from this marriage? Although i have managed to glean a reasonable amount of information re John Champain and his children, any further information on his family would be also be much appreciated.
With thanks ...
