	just looked on lancashire bmd and there are 31 marriages of John Schofield from 1837 to 1847 in Rochdale so it looks like a very common name indeed

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,005 Send Message	Sorry Adam - they all married John Schofield!!!! I assume it is a very common name in Rochdale. I found them on on www.familysearch.org. I'm at this point myself with a list of possible wives and my next step is to travel across country to check on the original Parish Registers to try and work out which one.
