Josephine - have you thought of putting your query on to the Rotherham mailing list? ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com <ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com> is the email address - I think if you just send a blank email with the word subscribe in the heading. You will then get a confirmation; then you can put this on there - sorry if I appear to be teaching you to suck eggs!
