The only information I have about John comes from his marriage in 1827, his daughter Mary's baptism in 1834, and the 1841 census. His wife Jane was born in Warrington, Lancashire, so he may also have come from there. Jane was living in Hulme, Manchester in 1851, so I assume John died in Manchester.
Unfortunately Schofield is a very common name in Lancashire, so it's impossible to guess which of the many deaths between 1841 and 1851 might be his.
