Looking for photos of my family.
« on: Sunday 06 March 22 12:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

My name is Eddie Schofield, I've been doing my families ancestry for a while now and have decided to start putting some faces to the people in my tree, and possibly find new people who share my bloodline.

I'm currently looking for photos on my “Schofield side” the people that in after are:

Edwin Schofield born 18th of January 1883, Barnsley, Yorkshire. Died on 24th April 1948 in Mexborough, Yorkshire.

Alice Mullineaux (Edwin’s wife) born 4th of May 1879 Atherton, Lancashire. Died on 13th July 1962 in Mexborough, Yorkshire.

Maud Gratton (married to Edwin’s son who’s also called Edwin) born 9th of September 1910 Adwick upon Dearne, Yorkshire. Died 20th of July 1978 in Rotherham, Yorkshire.

Frederick Gratton (married to Sarah Elizabeth Ellor) born 3rd of November 1869 in Beestow Brow, bollington, Cheshire. Died on 12th of April 1945 Mexborough, Yorkshire.


Please feel free to reach out and I’m open to any advice on where I could possibly find photos. My grandfather is still alive and knows stories about all of these people but sadly doesn’t have  photos. The only ones I have on this side are of Maud's husband Edwin and Frederick's wife Sarah Elizabeth Ellor.

There are 29 family trees on ancestry, perhaps if you reach out to those owners, one of them might be able to help.

You could try newspapers to see if any of the Schofield were photographed and published.

I've just come across Alice Molyneaux on an ancestry tree
someone who has DNA matches to people with  mullineux on their trees various spellings

The person I'm helping has ancestors back to
Thomas MOLLNAUX 1842 of parr lancashire and. Louisa Ann EDEN 
1845

Could that be same family ?
I will look out for matches to SCHOFIELD + GRATTAN  + ELLIR & see if there are any photos
