I guess you've already found William c1837 with his grandparents in 1851.

1851 Census

Sad to say but I think their census details may be damaged or destroyed, if you put in the following you will be a seriously damaged census page for Oldham, and see what I mean

Type surname Shero and HO107; Piece: 2241; Folio: 783; Page: 36;

Vera,

I've been around the hills and everywhere with these on the 1851.

I think there has been a really really bad mistranscription, but I can't pull the rabbit out of the hat!!

I think Sarah Schofield was Sarah Ashton before she married, but I can't find the marriage to prove that.


And Schofield is such a common name in the area!

Hi Vera,

sorry no ............ I've been caught by them before!

They were all definitely born in Oldham, Lancashire.

Benjamin's wife is Sarah, and I have a feeling she is a widow by the 1851 census .... although I can't find Benjamin's death.
