Hi Chesters,

Thank you for the lead on Mally Holt. I had already found that record but am trying to eliminate possible errors. Mally Holt/Hall married William Schofield but he died in 1832. Mally remarried Joseph Dale in 1834 and they had a son, Peter, whose birth was registered on 23 March 1839. On his birth certificate his mother's name is given as Mally Dale formerly Hall (see attachment). However, although it looks like Hall, it could be Holt and that is why I am searching for a possible marriage between William Schofield and Mally Hall. Mally and Joseph also had a daughter, Ann, in 1835. If anyone could look at her birth certificate for me, that may confirm Mally's maiden name. Incidentally, could the christening of Matty Holt in 1797 be Mally Holt and are the parents shown as Groves and Sally Holt?

Any help in looking up possible records would be much appreciated.

I recently fell for the same mistake when I found that marriage! William Schofield died in 1832 and Mally remarried. When she had a child by her second marriage, she entered her maiden name on this child's birth certificate as Hall.

Another look-up please!
I'm looking for the marriage of William Schofield to Mally Hall around 1820 possibly in Ashton-under-Lyne. Is anyone available?

Thanks

Would somebody mind doing a baptism look-up for me for William Schofield born between 1790 and 1800 in Rochdale. The only other clue I have is that he was married in 1819 and is described as 'of this parish'. There may be more than one but that is still OK because my one died in 1832 and I may be able to eliminate others from census records.

Many thanks

Roger
