Archives of the Skyrme family transcribed from many sources, including those held by the family, those in record offices and information provided by other family historians.

Family Bible

For most of the 20th century, this was the 'reference' archive about the family tree. It was passed to James Skyrme (b. 1911) from James Thomas Skyrme (b. 1884) from Thomas Skyrme (b. 1857), from George Skyrme (b. 1819) - the earliest record. Not all recent entries are recorded.

The left margin background throughout this website - and reproduced here - is circa 1908 from a photograph of the author's grandfather and grandmother: James Skyrme (1884-1937) and Ellen (née Harrison 1882-1859).
