Hi
I am looking to find an anyone who knew an Arthur Schofield who was best friends with my father Montagu Crutcher while doing National Service joining at Padgate in 1951-1952.
I have loads of pictures of when they were stationed at ABU SUEIR and have personal photo’s of Arthur’s wedding.
I haven’t got much info just that he married Jean in 1952.

If there is anyone out there who has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

But if so, he's not with his parents in 1939:

There are other Arthur Schofields whose births were registered last qr 1923 and 1st qr 1924 - but they all have middle initials.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Maddie.

I have been down that root of Arthur Schofield And Jean Power and unfortunately it’s not them.

I am doing my research into Arthur Schofield and Jean Halliday now thanks for the information though.
Much appreciated.

Schofield/Halliday marriage was 1953.

There were three subsequent Schofield/Halliday births - 1954 Bury; 1959 Leeds, and 1965 Bradford.

Don't know if they're all the same family or not.
Another Schofield/Halliday couple married in Haslingden in 1947.
A child's birth is registered in Haslingden RD in1952 - but they may have moved later.

The 1965 Bradford child MAY now be living in West Yorkshire, per 2021 ER.

There are too many people of the same names as the 1954 and 1959 children to be sure if any later records are relevant or not.

The 1952 Haslingden child probably married in 1975 and , sadly, was widowed in 1980.
May still have been living in the Haslingden area in 2010 - but I can't be sure, as the name is not unusual.
