Yes that should be Basford . Sorry my typo. I ll try to amend.
Thankyou Crisane. Yes I have Eliza s    Birth certificate and Thomas s in 1874 and the marriage Certificate from 1868. The only thing to give me more details will be workhouse records I think !

I m looking for info on Mary Ann Burrows . On the 1871 census she is in Basford workhouse with her 2 yr old daughter - who was born in Walsall union workhouse -and has another child in Basford in 1874.
She will have been in Basford anytime after jan1869 - and was definitely out by December 1877. I wondered if her husband William went in or died but he isn t on the 1871 census.Any info or admittance \ discharge records/birth records gratefully rec d

Yes had a look at that site, some good info.
Think it will be a trip to Lichfield hub I think to look at the records.
April 1868 William Burrows married Mary Ann Symmonds at Newhall Derbys.( She s Derby s lass and I have her hx). It's William who is aged ,28 and Dad Joseph I know nothing about.
Their daughter born Jan 4 1869 in the Walsall workhouse.
Don t know whether they both in there and whether he dies but the next show is Mary Ann Burrows 20 and daughter Eliza in Basford Union workhouse in the 1871 census - no William and registered as widow.She goes on to having another child in the workhouse in 1874 till I pick her up with the children in Hucknall Notts in 1881 remarried.
It just so frustrating about William. Not even sure where he was born. He probably the Radford one born @1838 but can t be sure
I don t know why her family did not help Mary Ann.Fancy being in just after the marriage!

Hi
I m stuck at where to look next?
A brief outline
My ancestor married in Newhall Derbyshire April 1868.(Have Cert)
Daughter born in Walsall union workhouse January1869(Ancestor named as father)
In 1871 census the wife appears in Basford union workhouse Notts with the child and labelled a widow and has another child in there in 1874( no father listed on birth cert).((.My ancestor is listed as the 2 nd child's deceased father on his wedding cert!))
If she was a "proper widow"in the workhouse then he must have died before 1871 census but can t find a likely death.
Would I be able to find admissions to Walsall 1868/69 to see if husband went in too?. Would a workhouse birth record tell me anything else more than the birth cert? Would a local newspaper for the time cover any workhouse deaths\admissions or news?
I m stuck at what to.look next at he just vanishes?
What other records could I browse from  April 1868 and to April 1871?I was wandering if he had a accident ( listed as Collier on marriage) in Newhall and she went in - but then why Walsall union and not Burton on Trent union or are they the same?If he wandered off for work elsewhere would she admit herself as a widow when she was t? Did they do that?
Any advice appreciated?
Thank you
Caroline
