Just had a look on ancestry and there is 119,076 on the census for then..... I would assume that is all of Leeds But only 17 Grainger's with that spelling . Do you have any other info ?? :o) Andrea

Looked at previous pages, and definitely Bankfarm St.... but I can't see anything that even slightly resembles the occupations !! sorry Off to bed now 2.35 am, and up at 8..... oops !! I had a quick "google" for a Sherburn near Leeds, and there is a Sherburn in Elmet, who had a linen mill.... could be the one !! Here's the web address http://www.selbytourism(.)co(.)uk/explore/sherburn/index(.)php Good Luck Andrea

ENGINE TENTER - someone who looked after and engine. Maybe we'd call them a fitter or mechanic now. Anne
