Hi, I am pleased you mention this as I thought of Scholes as being on the outskirts of Huddersfield but I am geographically challenged as we had little time for moving around when I lived there as I had to work and catch buses to get anywhere, didn't have a car. I have been watching "escape to the country" and learned more about the geography of England than I ever did at school. By the way we have LONGBOTTOM in our ancestry. Jane LONGBOTTOM from Morley married Frederick SPENCE in the late 1800s, She was my husband's great grandmother and our grandchildren had hysterics when I gave them her name, they had never heard anyone called that before.I even have a photo of her. Frederick became a borough policeman and they moved to Huddersfield. They had several children and lost 2 sons at least in WW1. I've never got round to doing any research on this side of the family as I have been kept pretty busy with other branches. Jean in S.

If Trevor is on the list or if anyone can pass my email address on to him please I am trying to contact him. I have just been on the HDFHS site but I get nowhere at finding any members on this. My last email from him was 1999. He is definitely the last one I need to contact from my notes. Jean Spence
