I am trying to find FRANK SCHOFIELD who was living in Westminster in 1901 and who was 38 years old. He states he was born Brill Bucks but I do not think he was. In 1881 there are 2 possibilities. Both 28. One was a soldier 7 Regt Lancashire Militia. born Rochdale (I have seen a painting years ago of him wearing a buzby) or one born Gringley, Nottingham. Would someone be so kind as to see if he was listed on 1891 census.

I am really surprised at results. I think the Frank Schofield from Gringley could be the one. My great grandfather was listed as a brewers drayman in 1901 census. But he was with my great gran Nellie Bunyan and the first of their 10 children. I have searched high and low for a marriage with no success. He was a lot older than her. I wonder what happened to his first wife? Well I never! Thanks for your help
