You should never rely on info from other people if they don't give you PROOF of what they say.

How does Hannah fit into your family tree?

What research have you done yourself on the lady?

We need you to help us to help you, by telling us all you KNOW as absolute certainty, and your reason for looking for info about Hannah

At least this - 1841 census - seems to verify that James had a sister Hannah

Name: Jas Schofield
Age: 18
Estimated birth year: abt 1823
Gender: Male
Where born: Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: Prestwich Cum Oldham
Hundred: Salford
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Registration district: Ashton and Oldham
Sub-registration district: Oldham below Town
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Jno Schofield 50
Jas Schofield 18
Edwd Schofield 17
Hannah Schofield 13

This appears to match the Hannah in 1851 with the illegitimate son - especially as she named her son Edward

Don't let yourself be sidetracked by the names of her cousins......they are not relevant to your search at present

I suspect this record was poster earlier, but it's in context now...............

could confusion have been caused by both James Schofield and his wife Catherine Travis possibly both having a sister born c 1837 called Hannah?
