Hi Elaine,
Many thanks once again for your very kind reply. I think I have now sorted out Benjamin@s Details out But it was hard work with changes of age and places of birth in the different towns & Counties, But I still have not found any birth or Baptism record for His wife Harriet Rawlins again trouble with Age & town & county changes in different census forms although the other details are the same. I think she was born Sheffield Area Handsworth, Gleadless or Birley. The 1901 give both Benjamin being born abt 1837 in Norton Derbyshire I have found their Death records Benjamin Oct - DEc - 1910 age 75 Vol 7b Page 406 and Harriet Jan - Mar - 1908 age 76 Vol 7b Page 503 both events in Chesterfield.
Once again thank you very much for all your valued assistance.
My very best wishes.
Fred Wheatcroft.

There are no baptisms OR Burials for RAWLIN/S at Handsworth. Only 3 marriages Harriet, Clara and Edward. Clara looks to be the sister of Harriet as father is John a Timber Merchant.and Edward is an earlier marriage in 1833.
To follow on from Angela's find I think we are getting a little closer.
1871 census Gleadless (Civil Parish of Handsworth)
John Rawlins hm. 73 Timber Merchant born Ecclesfield
Keturah wife aged 65 born BIRLEY, Derbyshire.
George son um aged 31 Timber Merchant born Gleadless.
1861 they are in Gleadless and Harriet is with them aged 29 born Beighton as was her mother.
1851 census in Gleadless. Harriet aged 14 mother is called Catherine on this one.
But Catherine's age is 45 and born Birley which matches the 1871 info.
1841 Census.Handsworth. All born Yorkshire except for Catherine.
