Circa 1836������������ James and John twin sons of Francis Skillen and Mary Kerns are born. No records of baptism can be found in the Catholic Church in Bytown where Catherine and Elizabeth were baptized. Since no other churches in the area had been built by 1836, either the records for the Bytown church were destroyed or the infant boys were not baptized in the Catholic Church. It might be that the boys were baptized in a Protestant church or by a Catholic Missionary priest who did not record the baptisms. It might also be that Francis, a Protestant refused to have the boys baptized in the Catholic Church.
