Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Skerne, Skearne, Skern, Skearn, Skyre, Skryne, Skyrne and many more.

Migration of the Scrine family

Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad.
