Well done Keyboard! I spent ages yesterday, using every conceivable way ( except the right one, evidently ) of searching for these three people and I knew, just knew that they would turn up as lodgers or visitors in someone else's house.

But why would Thornton be S Schofield? I am sure they are the right people but how very awkward of him to have the wrong initial. And it definitely is an S on the original image!

I am also fairly sure that the person down as Thorton, whom Mary A found in 1911 is the right person and that Alice Beatrice Schofield is in Wortley in 1911, with neither Thornton or Nellie.
Have you tried  www.1911census.co.uk   to search for them. They are definitely there, though I don't have credits to look at the full document and even if I had, we aren't allowed to post 1911 details in here.

Thanks so much for the help. I'll try that other website to look for people. I've never been to the U.K. and hope to make a visit there to see the towns my ancestors are from.

Hi Nicurn

You seem to have been helped with your questions so thought I would have a look at Albert just to take you a generation or two back.
I think I have found your Albert Ernest christened 25th November 1866 at Bolsterstone which is near to Stocksbridge with parents
Albert and Elizabeth.

Upon my search I did find some variations of the name Schofield which included Scholefield so its easy to not find them on the census with only a slight variation of the names.

I then looked for Albert Senior and think this might be him
Albert Schofield christened 10th November 1835 Hathersage, Derbyshire
parents are John and Hannah

Hathersage is only 10 miles from Sheffield to the west as are Stocksbridge and Bolsterstone.
Hope you have a good visit as you will love Yorkshire and the people. We are very friendly - laugh.
Take care and hope you find all your information
regards Sandymc
