On July 21, 2001,I sent an e-mail to Anrian.Scholes@ugs.com advising that I was researching the Pagett ancestors from Leeds, Yorkshire and had come across the name Frances (Francis) Scholes listed as a relative on the Pagett family entries around 1600-1700 in place of parents. I am curious to know what relationship Frances Scholes would have been to my ancestors? As I never received an answer, I am now hoping you may be able to help me.
I have been able to go back to James Pagett, born abt. 1698 and his wife Mary Broadelt, born 1702, married in 1723. They had ten children and one of the daughters, a Mary Pagett, born 1763 married a Joseph Scholes, born Jun 15, 1766 from Barwick-in-Elmet, Yorkshire. They in turn had four children, Harriet Beaumont, born Oct. 22,1787, Thomas, born Dec. 13,1789, Elizabeth, born April 1792 and Joseph. Joseph, born May 13,1793, married Ann Smith, born abt. 1795 and they had one child, Thomas born Nov. 30,1813. Thomas married Ann Newton, born Oct. 16,1812 and they had five children, Maria/Mary, born Nov. 30,1795, James, born Mar. 23,1798, Sarah, born Feb. 22,1801, George, born June 20,1802 and John, born Mar. 25,1805. This is as far as I am able to go. I am sure you are aware of this information. I found it fascinating that there is a Frances (Francis) Scholes involved with the Pagett family before 1698 and then Joseph Scholes married Mary Pagett in 1786 and went on to have their children. It appears there maybe a relationship between the Scholes and myself. My father was John Paget, born in 1890 in Otley and my grandfather was John Fisher Paget, my grandmother was Emily Bell, both from Leeds. In my searching it seems that the line I come from James Pagett/Mary Broadbelt is their son John, born in 1743. My father emigrated to Canada about 1915 where I was born in 1931. In 1980,1 moved to Bermuda where I met my second husband, an American military man and in 1986, upon his retirement, we moved to Florida. Although I have been trying to trace the Paget family for many years, it was only recently that we purchased a computer that allowed me to delve further into all the members of the family including the Scholes relationship to us. I found your website very interesting and the family has certainly done a lot of work putting it together and I congratulate everyone for their efforts. I will be making copies of it as I have a neighbor whose name is Scholes also, from New Jersey here in the States and I am sure he will be interested. Forgive me for the length of this e-mail. If you are able to give me any information about Joseph Scholes and Mary Pagett as well as Frances/Francis Scholes, I would appreciate it. Thanking you in advance, remain Respectfully, Margaret E.
