Hi, I only just saw your reply posted way back when..... I am currently on the trail of John and Elizabeth (nee Hall) Schofield. Their son was Samuel b 5/2/1824 in Manchester, Lancashire England. Samuel emigrated 1853 on the David McIver to Australia, occupation listed as Labourer. He came to work on the Sydney Railway and ended up as the Superindent of Labourers.. He married Julia Bourke of Tipperary Ireland on 23/7/1856 and they had 10 children that I can find. I have absolutely no information on John and Elizabeth but heaps on the descendents....
