1861 /71 Lookup of SCHOFIELD in Wilmslow
« on: Thursday 24 March 05 05:38 GMT (UK) »
Seeking any information on a James Schofield born c1853.

His 1873 wedding certificate gave his father as John Schofield (deceased) a labourer and he was living at Morley. I have no knowledge of his mother's name.

In the 1881 census James was listed as a brickmaker labourer, born in Pownall Fee.

Witnesses at his wedding were Henry Schofield and Hannah Schofield - most likely a brother and sister of James.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ian
