John Schofield - Ireland to England prior to 1849

[cfuller]

Trying to find information pertaining to John Schofield (Scholfield) born around 1792 in Ireland.  Married Sarah (surname unknown).  Mary was also born in Ireland around 1812.

They are on Northumberland, England census in 1861.  Occupations for both is agricultural laborers.   Eldest child on this census was born in Alnwick, Northumberland and was listed as 12 years of age. Her name is Ann.  Another child Mary Jane is listed as 10 years old.  These are the only children listed.  If this is correct then the couple would have moved from Ireland prior to 1849.

There is a 20 year age difference between John and Mary.  This is possibly not a first marriage. 

In 1871 Northumberland census Sarah Schofield is listed as a nurse.  Also in the household is a 9 year old lodger named Thomas Hennessy.
I am wondering if this lodger might ge a relative possibly a grandchild.  Isn't Hennessy also an Irish name?

I know there were Schofield's listed in Tipperary and Limerick around this time, but I actually have no idea where in Ireland they came from.  I am hoping someone can give me something to work with.

Thank you,

Just noticed your post again is his wife Anne or Mary - might be me but I think you used both given names for her in your posting!?

Saz,

Nope, it's me.  I must have had Mary on the brain.  Wife's name is Sarah and daughers are Anne and Mary Jane.  Is the list you gave me marriages that took place in England or Ireland?  Looks like England, does that mean there weren't any in Ireland?  Just wanted to clarify.

Thank you for the information.

Whaat about looking for other relatives in the same area?

Thank you.
