Thanks, Kite. I see they also have new Yorkshire records from the Sheffield & District Family History Society.

I ran a search for my Charles Johnson in Yorkshire (West Riding) and turned up 7 names. The most interesting to me is JOHNSON Charley 1879 Wakefield Yorkshire (West Riding) because I know the family referred to him as "Charlie".

If SKP could look for me, by any chance does he have a father John Johnson, a farmer?

Certainly not without his surname!

Edit: if it's Robert Frederick Girling who you mention here:

first boy robert frederick girling born south sheffield 22 aug 1910, only have short copy of birth so no details, my father albert henry girling born liverpool 4 july 1912, marriage of parents not until 1915

there is no bap for him on the FMP records currently available. However, that post of yours says he is your uncle, not your grandfather's brother, so maybe the wrong person.
