My grandfather Alfred George Rowley born 1879 was sent to Birdwell by Barnardos to work in a butcher's shop. He was going blind so was not able to do the work and did not want to return to Barnardos inLondon. He vanished from Birdwell about Feb 1895 and I did not find him again until 1904 when his daughter was born in London. I need to search the 1901 census for Birdwell but do not know the piece number. He was not found in any search I have made of the 1901 census so I need to go through it page by page

Hi the census ref number for Birdwell, Worsbrough, Barnsley is RG13/4323/193 so the piece number will be 4323, of course he may have been sent after the 31st March 1901 ( Date of census)?
