At least this - 1841 census - seems to verify that James had a sister Hannah

Who was his mother?

Thanks Flick,I stared doing my family tree last year never been on a com, before so i look for my grandmothers father James Schofield 1864 got his marriage and birth certificates, then got his father's name James Schofield 1823, so when someone let me look at there tree and had same names and dates i look up i took it to be right ,I am sorrow to confuse you and anybody else .Thanks

Have you done anything about looking on freebmd for a marriage for Hannah?

Or on Lancsbmd?

You should never rely on info from other people if they don't give you PROOF of what they say.

How does Hannah fit into your family tree?

What research have you done yourself on the lady?

We need you to help us to help you, by telling us all you KNOW as absolute certainty, and your reason for looking for info about Hannah

I was sent info saying Hannah Schofield born 1828 married Willian Shaw he was born 1821.Then someone said they had a match but she married a Travis Thanks for your help

Shaw??? Travis???
