I think, after searching all over, I may be on the track of a missing Ann Elizabeth Newbould, b. c 1855 Derby - but I'm not sure, and before I go too far down that track, I'd like to try and find out if there was a Newbould / Bamford or Basford marriage in the 1840s - 1850s in Leicestershire area.
After hunting through census and birth records for many areas, looking for an Ann (or Elizabeth, or both together) Newbould of the right age, with father William and possibly another relative (witness at marriage) Joseph, and a false start as her eldest two children were born in Yorkshire, and I'd interpreted the "Derby" given in 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses as "Darley" in Yorkshire, I recently found a most likely candidate as a grandaughter with a Basford or Bamford family in 1861 in Derby.
But I believe that the parents - she later gives a "William Newbould", a joiner, as her father - may have married a few years earlier, in Leicestershire somewhere. They certainly are not in the same household at that census.
I know she married in 1874, to William Isherwood, in Yorkshire; and almost all the rest of her life she lived in Lancashire, in Southport. Can anyone in Leicester suggest anything to help me establish which of the many "William Newbould"s who seem to have been all over Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire may be worth following up?
