Beskrivelse
For forty years I have been gathering information regarding the Scholey name in order to add to the initial family tree compiled by two of my cousins when they were teenagers.The name itself is unusual in most parts of the world other than a small section of Yorkshire.Much of the information I gathered I could not directly connect with my own line but I noted much of it anyway just in case it became relevant at a later date.The extra information grew and grew and as it did it became apparent that while I could still not connect it to my own line it was possible to connect one piece to another piece of the huge jigsaw which was developing.I recently ended my personal search and felt it was time to look at all these other bits and pieces I had compiled.Much of it clearly related to a family which existed barely twelve miles north of my own family.To summarise the odds and ends I had the following•A publican who ran a few different inns in Pontefract•His son who had had a bastardy order issued against him and later resettled in my family's own home town of Barnsley with a new wife•A Scholey who settled in America and his descendant who went hunting for hidden gold•A nursery and seedsman business owner •An individual who had travelled to Jamaica taken a wife and returned to England to live in a London workhouse before returning to Yorkshire•A bachelor solicitor in Wakefield•Three marriages which were at the time illegal•A night of drinking leading to manslaughter•A Farm fire...was it arson?•Sudden death after a mugging in Scarborough•A guy closely linked to the early development of Boots the ChemistI have now discovered a very clear link to all of these people and at the centre of it is that bachelor solicitor and the will he made days before his death.IntroductionChapter One BackgroundPart OneChapter TwoJohn Scholey and solicitor sonChapter ThreeWilliam Scholey & Mary HirstChapter FourThomas Scholey & Margaret LeakeChapter FiveSarah Scholey & Abraham CheesebroughChapter SixNathaniel Scholey & Sarah TaylorPart TwoChapter SevenJoseph Scholey & Mary BarkerChapter EightNathaniel Scholey & Elizabeth DentonChapter NineSarah Scholey & John RyderChapter TenJohn Scholey & Elizabeth CuttleChapter ElevenMary Scholey & Richard CuttleChapter TwelveThomas Scholey & Hannah CuttleChapter ThirteenWilliam Scholey & Mary ParkinsonPart ThreeChapter FourteenIllegal WeddingsChapter Fifteen Charles Scholey & Minerva Shooter Chapter Sixteen A Wakefield Scholey Family and a charge of manslaughterAppendixThe Copy Will
