Mike, thanks for this, I already have this list. Ruddington is shown as ROF No 14 but Sa*** Bos*** on her badge dealer site shows it as ROTHERHAM.
I have contacted the Ruddington parish council and they have sent me a link to ROF No 14 Ruddington so I am happy to name my badge as so.
Here is the link if anyone is interested:-
