Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Bestford or Besford or Bessford
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 17:55 BST (UK)  »
Thank you tris1120 this looks like the family that Julia Boddy (Bessford) married into.
1871 William Boddy age 29 is a Widr, Hairdresser, living in St James, Clerkenwell born c 1842 Scotland fits into the timeline of 1871-1876 when Julia married him and the right area but cannot find any information of marriage etc for William Boddy or William Bestford (Bessford)which may or may not help in finding the parents of william Bestford (Bessford).

Thank you Pauline J the 2 census records are 1891 Bedlington where he is under Bessford and Bestford. I think that the correct family is Bessford with Julia Boddy as Alas (Alice) Cuell was Julia Boddys daughter and was staying with William, George and Thomas Bestford in the 1911 census. I think Restford, Bessford is just a mistake but I cannot find any information about Williams parents or any marriage certificates . I have gone back with the wrong family with George and Jane Bestford
(besford) any help would be appreciated .

Still looking for William Bestfords parents. It looks as if William Bestford born in Cowpen 1853-1858 ?.Has changed  to bessford in the 1891 census
and back to Bestford in 1911 he is with his 2 sons george and thomas also Alice Cuell whose previous surname was Boddy.
In 1891 he is with his family Julia Bessford (Boddy) and 6 step children plus further children.

Thank you for your replies but unfortunately I cannot find any information on the marriage of Julia Body to William and that the family of Robert Bestford  William is still at home in 1891 age 34 and also with Julia Body and family under the name of Bessford age 40. I am struggling finding out who his parents are.
