I think that my family of Scholes resided in Accrington for a long time. Now my Grandfather William Scholes was listed on the 1881 Census with his parents Caleb and Elizabeth. He than married, had 2 children , wife and children show on the 1891 Census still with Caleb and Eliz. Looks like in Feb of 1891 William sailed to New York. traveled to Boston, His wife and 2 Children followed in June 1891. Wife died 1892. he Married a women in l893 in Lowell Mass. USA. (She was from Bacup, Lanc's who had come out to USA December 1891. Yes followed my Grandfather it seems . She brought the 2 children back to Accrington. Gave them to their Grandparents. Found she was pregnant. Had a son and then returned to USA in 1894. Had a daughter in 1896 and they all returned to live in Castleton, Lancashire in 1898. I have all the info now on Family as 7 more children born in Castleton (My father one of them in 1906.).. All remained in Castleton until about 1940.

Yes, I do show that the Eldest boy William Asa born in 1894 was killed in WW1. Buried in Turkey.

NOw I will try finding the other 7 children of Caleb and Eliz. I have found some of the marriages, Also found the the first son of William did die at the age of 16. l906. Shows in the same house as earlier Census. So he does not show on the 1911 Census. My GGrandparents Caleb and Eliz do show as still alive on the 1911 along with a Daughter and son still living at home.
Here is where I stand now. I am sure that I would have some relatives in the area from the other 6 (3 daughters and 3 sons) born to Caleb and Eliz. I do have the marriages of the 2 daughters. The eldest have married late in life but no children. the other daughter having born a son and a daughter. I will post their names on here soon.
This will them show up to around the 1920/30 so maybe some of Great Grandchildren of Caleb and Eliz. still in the Area.

We cannot get into the 1911 Census here in the USA yet. Some of them would show on there I am sure.

Thanks for your reply
