Please can someone help - I'm sorry - I'm sooooo excited - broken down a major brick wall that has been with me for over 2 years and I can't think strainght! I have managed to find my grandfather listed in the 1891 census as being born in Rotherham, can anyone tell me what the number for the area was in 1883-4? None of the place names I can see on the indices seem to relate to Rotherham. Sorry if this doen't make too much sense - too much adrenaline Thanks Jo
