Taking a quick break from the families in the Census to start going through the National School Admission Registers.  Ranby Country Primary School is the School that takes its students from the Parishes of Sotby, Stainton and Ranby itself.  Ive already seen a few familiar names, from the Census, enrolling in the School.  The Register also gives the parents names and usually the date of birth of the student.  

When I get as far as 1891 I know I will see my great grandfathers name in the October, as mentioned here

I think Ill give myself a week or 2 per family.  As they aren't my ancestors I don't need to go into too much detail, although I still find them fascinating.  The second family are an older couple with some young servants.  I have identified all their children and located them in the 1841 Census and will most likely leave them be.
