Scholey Family History
Scholey Name Meaning
English: habitational name from Scholey's Bridge in Hemsworth (Yorkshire) which is recorded as Scollay in 1276. Alternatively it may be from a lost place called Scholey in Rastrick (also in Yorkshire). The placenames both derive from Old Norse skáli ‘hut shieling’ + Old English lēah ‘woodland clearing’.
