Probate for the death posted by Shirley -

George Schofield of Harrington Villa, 51 Park Road, Mexborough Yorkshire died 4 January 1954 at Montague Hospital, Mexborough. Probate, Wakefield 24 May to Matthew Clark technical college principal and Bernard clement White retired schoolmaster

A copy of the will (obtainable via the site) may give some clues, may name family. the 2 gents named are only the executors.

Trouble is of course that there were several George Schofields born around the same time and it could be any of them

I expect you've already checked but -

There are no death registrations in Scotland for a George Schofield born 1868 +/- 5 years post 1891 when you have sight if him

and none for a Peter Schofield b 1837 +/- 5 years

The Mexborough probate man - George's birth was registered Sept. Qtr 1868 so even allowing for the year being out, the May month should rule him out

ok thank you
they have certainly eluded the census

Does Catherine's death certificate say whether she is wife of or widow of ... ?

The 1891 census says she is married may not necessarily be correct)

Sarah Ann married 1894 in Bonhill RD - the certificate should name her Father and say whether he is deceased

Have you checked the 3 marriage records for a George Schofield between1891-1950 on Scotland's People

sorry i dont know jusy found it on sp - catherine
george not on scottish census after 1881

The birth and death posted by Shirley are not for the same person - unless the death was registered by someone who did not know the deceased’s correct age

Has anyone checked the GRO for the MMN on the birth registration?

yup

There is a baptism which Ancestry thinks is that man, although the birth date would mean that the man should appear as one year younger in 1901.

Record Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 15 Oct 1837
Baptism Date: 12 Nov 1837
Baptism Place: Tong, St James, Yorkshire, England

Mother: Mary Scholefield


Interesting, though, as there is no sign of your man with Catherine in 1891 and 1901

hmmmm could be in light of the spelling
