Am trying to trace my Bassford ancestors from Leicester.
We spell our name BASSFORD.
In 1901 My G. G. Grandfather William Bassford lived in Barston St.
In 1881 he is living with his parents, John and Martha.
In some censuses it says John Bassford born 1827 Leicester
John Basford Born 1831, Leicester
John Basford Born 1831 Arnold, Notts.
"" Born 1829 Leics.
Born 1832 Leicester.
In 1861 John is living in Notts, but in 1841 a John Basford is living with his parents in Leicester.
Is this John Basford/Bassford the same person, or have I got it wrong.

Find me in the Yellow Pages.

Obviously, we can't see all your evidence.
The clincher is probably the marriage cert of john & martha, combined with occupational info and placement in census.

It would seem extremely likely that it is the same person. I assume that the 1827 date comes from 1841 when his age would have been rounded down to the nearest five years. The worrying entry is the Arnold Notts one where unless the rest of the family in the census match would seem unlikely.
The change in spelling is to be expected. You are lucky that the variation is so minor.
