I'm trying to find where a John Thompson born 1859/60 in a place Rodley Shield, Yorkshire according to 1891 and 1901 census. He and his father Robert Thompson were coal miners. He married a Eleanor Thompson in1885 Cambois, Northumberland. Any idea where this place is or where he appears on the 1861 and 1871 and 1881 census would be a great help.
Thanks Ken

I believe Rodley is in Leeds, if that's any help.
