Other Abrahams families in SH in 1881: George (b.1829 in SH), farmer 28 acres, and Catherine, and 3 daughters; Eizabeth (widow) and daughter Roseanne. Were they related to George, b.1824?
One of the witnesses at George & Sarah's wedding was a William Abrahams. I found him in the 1881 census disk age 67 (b.1812) living in Swan Street with his daughter Roseanna. What was his relationship to George?
1841 Census, Church St, S.H: George, age 18, tailor
1861 Census, Swan Street, S.H: George, age 37, master tailor, 6 children
1871 Census, St James St, C.H:, age 47 master tailor, 3 children at home, John, James, William
Look for James & Wiliam again in 1881 Census elsewhere in Essex
881 Census, St James St, Castle Hedingham, age 67, tailor
2nd STAGE RESEARCH
Need to look at census records for Castle Hedingham 1851-71 to look for siblings of John and check on his whereabouts. I cannot find him in the 1881 Census records. Question is: where was he at the time?

Note for: William Scholes, 21 JAN 1796 - Aft 1871 Index
Baptism:
Date: 13 MAR 1796
Christening:
Date: 13 MAR 1796
Place: Hatfield Parish near Doncaster, West Riding Yorkshire, England
Occupation:
Place: Boot and shoemaker
Individual Note: William Scholes the younger (b.1796)
William, the first child of William Scholes the elder, married Sarah Lee (b.1790) at St Lawrence's Church in 1820 and lived at Hatfield Woodhouse. From 1851 census records their cottage was close to, and possibly three doors from, the Robin Hood and Little John Inn; the inn was, kept by Thomas Wilburn, wheelwright and publican. William's cousin, Anne, and husband Thomas Singelton, lived next door.
William the younger was enumerated in 1841 as a master shoemaker, aged 45, of Woodhouse but without any apprentices living at that address; and is listed in Slater's Directory of Northern English Counties 1848 as "Wm. Scholes, Boot and Shoemaker, Hatfield Woodhouse.
William - and presumably his father - would have been indentured (at the age of 14 or earlier) before becoming journeymen and then master tradesmen able to set up their own businesses.
Ben Brown has listed 12 shoemakers in Hatfield in 1837 (from White's Directory 1837) and about 16 in 1851 (from census records). No records of indentures for 'Scholes' have yet been found. Formal indentures involved some trouble and expense, and by the 18th century apprenticeships were often undertaken without benefit of formal documentation, especially in the common trades.
William and Sarah had seven children: William, John and Thomas, and Elizabeth, Sarah, Martha and Catherine. Apart from John, there are few records to show what happened to the family.
John (b.1826), the second son, married Elizabeth Hill, see below
The youngest son, Thomas (b.1833), married another Elizabeth about 1853.
The second daughter, Sarah (b.1825), was enumerated in 1851 as a houseservant, aged 24, in the house of William Tonge, farmer of Crowle, Lincs.
The third daughter, Martha (b.1829), was enumerated in 1841, as a female servant, aged 11, in the house of William Dobson, farmer of Woodhouse.
William's wife, "Sarah Scoales of Woodhouse, age 38", was buried at Hatfield on 21 January 1838. At some time between 1841 and 1851, William married Ann Jackson, a widow with a son, John aged 20; this second marriage is not recorded in the IGI or the PR.
In Robert Forster's Charity, Wm. Scoles of Hatfield Woodhouse is shown as having received a a linen coat in 1865; he would have then been aged 69 and like his father appears to have fallen on hard times. We have no record of his death but it is likely that he died before 1868.
