I've just realised that Rachel say's George's father is called Skelton. Might he have been named for his father but changed it to George? The 1901 that I posted above has a lot of scribbling for the initial which seems to change from an S to a G?

I am trying to find out who George Birkett born 1858, Shelby, Illinois, USA married. He died in 1954 and is buried at Wichta, Sedgwick County, Kansas, USA

George is the son of Skelton Birkett and Mary Bland.

I have found a burial record on Find a Grave website and it tells me that he had a daughter Florence Agnes Birkett who was born in 1891 in Kansas, USA.

On a burial record I have for Florence she married Ebin Walter Pyle born 1882 in Kansas USA. He died 1953 and they are both buried in Wichta, Sedgwick County Kansas, USA. They married in 1912.

On a write up on both records it says that her home before her marriage was Seatle, Washington, USA and that they had two daughter Mary Ruth and Margaret
