Looking for Mary Jane SCHOLEFIELD Completed Thanks

[perilsofpauline1]

Forgive me if you are reading this again, but after posting it on the Kent site, felt it was suited more to London.
My Mary Jane SCHOLEFIELD was b. Sep. qtr. 1865 in Greenwich. The last sighting of her was on the 1881 census for Plumstead. I have been unable to find a marriage for her, so am hoping someone can help find her for me. Her parents were Richard and Elizabeth SCHOLEFIELD,
Thankyou,
Pauline

Have you also checked the deaths?

Hi Jennifer - I read request as wanting info post-1881.  As she was born 1865, it's highly likely she was married between 1881-1891

HI, Yes it is Martha.

Martha Ann Scholefield birth  reg June qtr 1850 Ipswich ref 12/392

Hi Jennifer

Please read original request.  The poster wants information from 1881 onwards on Mary Jane Scholefield b 1865 - not Martha

See my reply above re: possible marriage between 1881-1891

[jennifer c]

Hi, Possible marriage if she had gone back to her family roots in Lancs.

Mary Jane Scholefield married James William Mellor 22/1/1883 Cathedral Manchester Lancs.

I think there is more chance of someone finding information if they know all the facts. I would not have looked in Lancs. without knowing the family's roots.

Hi

There is no Mary Mellor on the 1891 census b between 1863-1867 who was born anywhere in the London area and was married to a James.

However - there are a number of Mary Mellor's married to a James who were b Lancs which would tie up with a Lancashire marriage

Re: going back to Lancashire roots.  Her parents were born in Cheshire - not Lancashire and none of the children had any connection to Lancashire

There is a danger here of going off on the wrong track.  Mellor is a fairly common Lancashire surname
