Family:James Schofield and Martha Bradbury (1)

The family above was originally listed with 10 children, but only Lucy, John and the younger Mary were with their parents in the 1841 and 1851 censuses. The surname Schofield (often spelled Scholfield) was very prevalent in Saddleworth and the neighbouring town of Rochdale (which is in Lancashire). It is possible that another researcher combined two families together. Further discussion will be found under "Talk".
