There is this family on the 1841 census in Manchester, but it looks as though the adults are the grandparents:
John SCHOFIELD M 65 1776 Lancashire Ann F 55 1786 Lancashire Charlotte F 25 1816 Lancashire Alice F 15 1826 Lancashire Mary Ann F 7 1834 Lancashire Sarah F 5 1836 Lancashire Eliza F 4 1837 Lancashire RG number: HO107 Piece: 572 Book/Folio: 12/23 Page: 40 They live at China Lane. |

Yes, it's John Schofield, spinner on the marriage cert.
I'm not 100% sure that I have the right baptism, but the details fit. Someone from FTF kindly looked it up for me in the PRs; the address given is Fleet St., Manchester, and the father's occupation is spinner. However, Schofield is a very common name in Lancs, and spinner is a pretty common occupation. It looks as though John died before 1851. These are the censuses I have: 1851: Jane (widow) and Mary Ann are living in Myrtle St., Hulme. Jane's a charwoman and Mary Ann's a servant. HO107; Piece: 2221; Folio: 923; Page: 15 1861: Mary Ann is now married to William Grimshaw, and they're living in Hulme with their 5 children, Mary Ann's mother Jane Schofield, and a mysterious uncle, John Hindle. I was hoping he'd turn out to be Jane's brother, but I can't find a Jane Hindle/John Schofield marriage. Hindle and Grimshaw are also very common Lancs names; he may have married one of William's father's sisters, but I haven't found a marriage so far. Class: RG9; Piece: 2896; Folio: 84; Page: 43 1871: Mary Ann had died; William had remarried: Class: RG10; Piece: 4459; Folio: 26; Page: 3 and I think this may be Jane, although the family she's visiting doesn't ring any bells: Class: RG10; Piece: 3991; Folio: 62; Page: 51 I haven't found a death for Jane; there are just too many Jane Schofields in Lancs.

Brilliant, I do believe you've cracked it - that John's a spinner, too.
I've been looking for these guys for years! It took me ages to find, even with the reference you gave - Ancestry has them transcribed as Schafred. I'd tried a load of wildcard searches in the past, but evidently not the right one. I hadn't found any siblings for Mary Ann, either, so the ones you've found may lead to more information Thanks very much ![]() ![]() |

Ah, that marriage looks good, too.
It was one of the many possibilities I'd found, but with not having the siblings' names, I had no idea if it was the right one. I owe you one ![]() |
