i once went off on a tangent and found an Admiral - got very confused because there was a real Admiral with the same surname.

Sorry Adam - they all married John Schofield!!!!
I assume it is a very common name in Rochdale. I found them on on www.familysearch.org.
I'm at this point myself with a list of possible wives and my next step is to travel across country to check on the original Parish Registers to try and work out which one.

just looked on lancashire bmd and there are 31 marriages of John Schofield from 1837 to 1847 in Rochdale so it looks like a very common name indeed
