Title: Scholes family. 1841/1851 census
Post by: jjabbott on Friday 10 August 07 11:20 BST (UK)

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would mind looking up 'Thomas Scholes' and family on the 1841 or 1851 census. The information I already have is that he was born in Castleton, Lancashire in 1801/1802 (so would be 39/40 in 1841), was married to 'Ann' and they had at least one daughter called 'Grace' born around 1836 in Thornham/Thurnham, Lancashire.
Many thanks for any help.
