Thankyou very much Barb! What a lovely mystery. As the photo's are relatively recent I can't immediately say they are of anyone in my family, so will need to do some digging. In the meantime it was good of you to post the photo's in a few places, and I hope you get some answers to your mystery Schofields. I will do that digging, and will get back to you regardless of the outcome.

I just realized that I didn't give any dates of births etc. Edward McIntyre b. July 1889, Mawdesley, Lancashire Sarah (Hutchinson) McIntyre b. 1879, Penrith, Cumberland Marriage April 11, 1911, Wigan, Lancashire Children Arthur, b. Sept 1911, Wigan John, b. Oct 1912, Wigan Nora b. Jan 1915, Wigan [my Mom] Edward b. May 1916 [known as Teddy],Wigan Alexander b. July 1926, Ontario, Canada. I have taken a guess that the photos are circa 1920s; some of the sheet music are of that era as well. Some day, when the story of Hannah Schofield is solved, I will tackle a photo of "Nora Darlington and her husband" ???? Another mystery . Barb.
