Why does this sound like one of those "if an east-bound train leaves the terminal at 5:42 travelling 72 MPH and a west-bound....."?
How about plugging a vacuum into the one bedroom, a radio into the second, and TV into the third? Undo the fuses, re-connect one at a time. When you hear the vacuum start up you will know this is the fuse for that bedroom, etc.
BTW, I'd be careful: common walls may be on the same circuit (the outlets back-to-back). Also, lighting may be on one circuit and outlets on another.
