I am now on the prowl for John Scaife in 1851. He was born 1835 in Hull. I have found him in 1861, newly married and living in Hull with his wife Sarah. I would like to determine his parents and other family members. Thanks for any help! Mary Lou on vancouver island, canada

Hi Mary Lou, My 1851 Census Disc does not give addresses or occupations or relationship to head of family. HO107/2363 Folio No.0966v shows the following all living in Hull Holy Trinity:- Forename Surname Age Birthplace Page Order Anthony Scaife 10 Hull 146765 John Scaife 17 Hull 146766 Mary Scaife 40 Hull 146767 Emma Scaife 4 Hull 146768 Joseph Coulson Scaife 19 Manchester 146769 Edwin Scaife 14 Hull 146770 Thomas Scaife 42 Breighton 146771 William Scaife 15 Hull 146772 Eliza Scaife 6 Hull 146773 Thomas Scaife 18 Hull 146774 Mary Scaife 13 Hull 146775 This could be all one family as they are all listed in succession (Page Order). I see there is a Joseph Coulson Scaife, which could point to his mother (Mary) being a COULSON before she was married. ( My family name is COULSON, but we originated in N.R.Yorkshire, but you never know, there be some connection somewhere along the line!) Hope this will be of some help to you sorting out your SCAIFE family. Cheers, Don.

Good morning Donald What a nice surprise to wake up to! Thanks very much for your time and effort. It is greatly appreciated. That gives me a lot more to work with. Best wishes mary lou There is a marriage on IGI for a COULSON and a SCAIFE, which must be mine. John SCAIFE married on of my JEFFERSON girls. I like to know what family the husbands come from.
