Family John SKIRRETT, b. Est 1554, d. 1583 (Age ~ 29 years) Married - Answer in Chancery Court case of 1630 refers to there being living children of John at that time but only names Charles. ('... John Skyrrett had issue one Charles Skyrrett & other Children yet livinge').
Wife's name
"Tavistock records" book contains an entry from the CWs accounts for 1588-89 "Skyrrett, garden late in tenure of John Skyrrett, on higher side of the waye leading to lnscombe, ij";" - it seems probable that the John Skyrrett referred to was this John, and Johane his widow.
Did a daughter Alice marry Robert Burdon?
Vivian p.115, citing the 1620 visitation (Harl. MS. 1164, fo. 40) shows an Alice, daughter of 'John Skerick of South Tavistock' was married to Robert Burdon, of Burdon in High Hampton.
Robert and Alice had children shown by the visitation to have been born c.1599, 1606 and 1608. No age or date given for others who died young so their first could have been earlier. This suggests Alice could have been a daughter of this John and his wife.However, I am concerned that the description recorded by Vivian is 'of South Tavistock' - Tavistock is not usually prefixed with South, should it be South Tawton? There seem to have been family/ies in South Tawton with similar names around this time. In particular, there was an Alse, daughter of John SHERIT (I think, surname faint and not clear) baptised in Hatherleigh in 1564. Hatherleigh is a neighbouring parish of Highampton and so Robert and Alse may well have known each other; perhaps it was this Alse who was living in South Tawton at the time of her marriage.
