I am looking for Emily Schofield who was born in Philadelphia Pa USA in 1890. She is in the 1901 Census as being adopted by who I assume is her aunt Maria Oddy nee Walker. I am just guessing that her mother was Mary Margaret Schofield who was Maria sister. Mary Margaret went over to USA around 1885 with her then husband Thomas Schofield who died in 1890 in Philadelphia. Mary Margaret then married a John Bromley in 1890 in Philadelphia. They returned to the UK around the late 1890s.

Several Emily Schofield marriages in the Oldham RD between 1901-1911. They need to be followed up and see if there is an appropriate Emily in the 1911 census. Bearing in mind her age, then the 1909 or 1910 would look the best options, but she may not have married or not in that area.
