Oh baby! New year, new arrivals for three families
THE start of 2026 saw three additions to a number of families in the borough – 'relative-ly' speaking!
Two baby girls and a boy were born to proud parents at Rotherham Hospital on January 1 – and welcomed warmly by their siblings at home.


The first New Year's Day arrival was Taliya Rose Huxtable, who was born at 1.37am to mum Heather and dad Gareth Huxtable.
Back home in Bramley she was welcomed into the family by big brother Benjamin and sisters Kayla, Keira and Cait.


Baby boy Jacob Ceaser was born a few hours later at 4.17am to mum Kimberley and dad Josh Ceaser.
The tiny tot joins big sister Ellie at the family home in Bramley.
Mila Sofia Darrington arrived a little later at 6.10pm to parents Kayleigh and Christian Darrington.
She was welcomed into the Thurcroft family home by siblings Poppy, Rory and Rosie.
