Title: Edith Rushy Scholes
Post by: Anne of Selby on Monday 07 July 08 14:27 BST (UK)

I am trying to fine out about my gran.
She was Edith Rusby Scholes born 31st Oct. 1886 at Thorne.
Dau. of George Scholes and Eliza?
She married my granddad Isaac Coy on 22nd. April at Thorne Parish Church. At this time she was living at Ellison Street, Thorne.
I think her father may have been born at Hatfield Woodhouse.

Thats all I know about her before her marriage so if anyone could fill in any japs that would be great.
Anne.

Dear Cazay,

Thank you for the information it sounds like her, if she where Georges step-daughter that would explain a lot.
At least I've got a place to start now, thanks a million.

Hello Anne

working on the 1891 census info that cazay has given.

freebmd has a marriage for a George Scholes in Q3 of 1888 at Thorne, a possible bride is Ellen Rusby.

If Edith is George's step daughter then freebmd also has a birth entry for an Edith Rusby in Q4 of 1886 at Huddersfield.

Thanks Bee.

At the moment I have Ellen Rusby born in the June qua. 1869 at Thorne.
She had a daughter Edith 31st Oct. 1886 at Huddersfield.
In the June qua. 1888 at Thorne she married George Scholes.
On the 1901 census there is:
George 44yrs. born Hatfield Woodhouse
Ellen 33yrs. born Thorne
Edith 18yrs born Huddersfield.
Edith is now known as Scholes and is a boot keeper but I think that may be book keeper.

On Edith's marriage certificate to my grandfather in 1906 her name is Edith Rusby Scholes.

My granddad was Isaac Coy son of Thomas William Coy
he was born in Crowle Isle of Axhome on the 21st. July 1884.

If anyone has a connection I would be delighted to hear from you. :)

All the best, Anne.
