Hi....there are at least five places called Scholes in the West Riding. See this: _http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Where/S.html_ (http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Where/S.html) mary lou In a message dated 2/20/2010 1:08:37 P.M.

I am searching for the birth of Harold Laycock born about 1901. Cenus returns show his birthplace as Scholes. His father was Joseph and his mother Annie(maiden name unknown as yet) . There are a lot of Harold Laycocks in Yorkshire and I need to narrow it down a little to be able to find his birth record.
