Thanks for the reply.

I have managed to find this list of immigrants working in the UK in 1955 and have found a Pluteci which is my Uncle's father:

I agree that the name may have changed spellings over the years to try and make it sound more local to wherever the family may have relocated to. The name here of Leonte Simion Pluteci is listed as being from Roumani (Romania) but that is the most I have been able to discover.

Brilliant that's the earliest i've managed to get back so far yet on both sides so the Ruston's are winning 

This must be George and Mary-all the dates add up!!
It is possible that they used their middle names. If George was really Thomas George or George Thomas then that would explain why he had children called Thomas and George-were they named after him??

My grandmother may have Robert William RUSTON's birth certificate as she has a boxful of them at her house!! I'll check to see if it's there and if not i'll send for it.

Also just to clear up my confusion...on the 1891 census (49 Heelis Street Barnsley) for the HOLLING family, is Alfred HOLLING living with his brother Thomas and sister-in-law Ann? Did he move in after Sarah's death in 1887?

Thanks for all the hard work you've done...it really helps to have someone who knows what they are doing!! 

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back on here but i've been bogged down with work!!!

I have a first name for William RUSTON's wife.

She was Alice HOLLING.

I've also found out that William RUSTON was actually called Robert William RUSTON but chose to go by his middle name.

I spoke to my grandmother and she was still unsure of the dates of the children apart from the three we know (Alice-1913, Marian-1920 and Albert-1915) but she has let me know the order the children were born in, as best she can remember.

1. Sarah
2. William-possibly 1908??
3. Nellie- who was known by this name but could have actually been called Helen/Ellen/something else??
4.Alice-1913
5. George
6. Albert-1915
7. Marian

hope this helps

Thanks for everything. I'll check with my grandmother tomorrow (Alice's daughter) to see if sheknows anything else i.e. order of children, HOLLING's first name and any other info.
