HELP PLEASE? Need to find Alice Schofield ASAP?

[susan57]

No. They said it would take "a while" despite me telling them the situation. Is that days, weeks or months I wonder......

Finding out the surnames of the adult deceased burials in the graves where your Schofield baby burials are in Harehills cemetery Leeds, maybe throw some light on your quest, if its a private burial site and if its a pauper municipal burial site then there will be nothing only random surnames.

Thomas Palfreman--Lane or Briggs seems the best hope to tract down Alice's origins

That's what I'm waiting for dobfarm. Am going to discuss purchasing some certificates to verify the information I have. Thanks

I don't want to confuse matters further as there maybe no relevance with your family

Divorce records are available to view on Ancestry but only go up to 1910.

'Edited' info. have now sent the link by pm and as noted by Ruskie you can order online

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? John Rees was her mothers second husband. I have info for a Reginald Lane being killed in1917 in the war??

A family "fib" to cover up the scandal perhaps? 

It looks like you can order a copy rather than visit in person.

No certainty that they are the same people and looking back at the census he had a middle name.

There may be no connection it may just be a coincidence that they all have the same names
without seeing the document no way to tell

Unfortunately no further info. given as to whether this Reginald Lane married 1914 Alice Briggs

This was the info. posted for Reginald (death entry found by Annette), but we don't know if
this is the Reginald Lane that married your Alice Briggs

Without upsetting what is currently being discussed, would it help any if I put up all instances of a given surname that have been buried in Leeds municipal cemeteries?
I could start with say Harehills cemetery and give info for a given surname just giving bare info like age/year of burial and grave location.
Once done the christian name would be looked at more closely to give more info.

NB Would prefer the info go via pm susan57 as some could be a sensitive issue.

The 3 way match up of names is making me think it can't be a coincidence guys but am happy to take anyones advice.Hoping to discuss later with my cousin re purchasing certificates.
 Thanks Calverley Lad.If you think something may turn up please give it a go. Pm a good idea.
 I thought Alices mum married John Richard Rees in Oxford, and Alice met Reginald Lane there ?? having Gladys Rees Lane and moving back to Leeds to ?? have Alice Lane. None of this proven of course as the goalposts keep moving!!!
