Mr John SKIRRETT
Set As Default Person -
Name John SKIRRETT Prefix Mr Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1617 - From Vivian, shows as aged 3 at the time of the 1620 visitation
Baptised 5 Mar 1616/17 St. Andrew’s Church, Whitchurch, Devon, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 May 2016)
"John the sonne of Edwarde Skyret & Ann his wife was baptized Marche .5."
Gender Male Residence 1658 Sortridge, nr Horrabridge, Peter Tavy, Devon, England
- A guess.
When his daughter Ann was buried in Whitchurch John was described as gent of Peter Tavy parish. The probable reason for the burial being in Whitchurch was that this Skirrett family were continuing to live at Sortridge.
Buried 23 Apr 1702 St. Andrew’s Church, Whitchurch, Devon, England

Not described as gent or given title Mr, it is hard to be sure this is the right John, except I am not aware of another it is likely to be or another burial that could be this one. (However, the appalling quality of the index on FMP makes it hard to be sure, without browsing every page which I have not yet had time to do)

Notes - (Research):A Mary Skirret wife of John was buried in Whitchurch on 10 Dec 1671 - it is likely John would have remarried after Elinor died, was Mary his wife?
