Thanks Marian, I think that is too early for my lot, but just in case I am looking for John Whyman and family. Wife Mary Son William George Daughters Gertude and Alice. They appear to have moved from there in 1873 just after Alice was born. If you can find them it would be great. I haven't been able to find them in 1871, in 1881 they were in Peterborough. Thanks for the offer Jean

some my rellies in the late 1800's came from Ecclesall Bierlow, which is now part of South Sheffield. However on the census info back then it was listed as Derbyshire! How confused am I??!! Sam
