This is brilliant - James & Elizabeth senior are my Gt Gt Gt Grandparents; Charles is my Gt Grandfather - so would appreciate any more info that's available.

The 1st James , nephew aged 25, COULD BE the eldest son of James & Elizabeth
the age is about right ...............will have to work on this one  ;)

I am very, very grateful, as there is no trace of this family on 1837online's 1861 transcription   >:( ???  haven't looked at Ancestry.co.uk yet.

Regards,  Ann.

Hi Ann

If you have access to ancestry, you can look James jr up using the reference I quoted.  I hope you find he matches!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hello

I've only recently come to RootsChat, but I noticed your almost 10 year old post regarding the Scales family.

James and Elizabeth (nee Dilly) are also in my tree. my mother's paternal line was Scales. James was also my Gt,Gt grandfather. The line is through James' son William (married Ellen Crouch) and their son Arthur. I was born in Letchworth.

I'd love to share further information on the Scales family with you. It was quite a prolific clan!

Hi all,
Just found this site! Looks as though I may have a few relatives out there. My great grandfather was Noah Scales. His father was a William Scales from Hertfordshire born 1811. The trail is a bit confusing at this stage....so if anyone has a connection or can give me a lead I would appreciate it.
Thanks
David Scales
