Libby56, This has and still is an interesting post. For me it has raised more questions than answers with regard to Ann Maria Reeves mother Elizabeth. She was seemingly born c 1824-6 in Leicester.
Is her maiden name Waring or Goodman? Would you consider if finance allows ordering her marriage cert to George Metcalf, this should reveal just who her father was and his possible occupation.
As for her mother Elizabeth Waring she is even a bigger mystery, only found in 1871 census and death in 1876.

Elizabeth Reeves C1848) daughter of Joseph & Elizabeth Reeves married George Steele Bashforth 22.4.1877. Her father recorded as Joseph Reeves occupation Brickmaker

Residence for both on that marriage John found is 129 Great Holme Street (again!)
Mary Reeves was a witness.

Another one!
Has she been mentioned?

Baptism (private), St Andrew, Leicester, 24 Aug 1868
Harriet
parents Joseph + Elizabeth Reeves
abode 7 Coleman's Buildings, Grange(?) Lane
father Brickmaker

REEVES, HARRIET       
Mother's Maiden Surname: GOODMAN 
GRO Reference: 1867  D Quarter in LEICESTER  Volume 07A  Page 225

She may have died shortly after that baptism? Sep qtr 1868, Leicester, age 0.

Possibly unconnected events?

Baptism at St Margaret's, Leicester, 23 October 1826
Elizth
Dr. of John + Elizth Goodman
abode Calton St. (Carlton?)
father Brickmaker

Is that a one off baptism to those two? I can't see an obvious marriage either.

Baptism at Hinckley, 11 Jan 1809
Elizabeth
D of Thomas + Sarah Waring
Born 11 Jany 1809 (same day)

Not readily apparent to me what happened to her.
Later baptisms at Hinckley have Thomas Waring as a bricklayer.

 Jonw65 and Johnhood....Ann Maria Reeves b 24 march 1853 father Joseph Reeves, Brickmaker. mother Elizabeth Reeves formerly Goodman, residence Deepfield square, Cosely. I keep thinking maybe I have the wrong woman here but the same common factors keep coming back to haunt me. I've never come across the name Waring until this post! I believe it to be Goodman but there is no marriage record to be found. I will send for the marriage certificate as I think this is the only way to prove your theory. It will take a few days as they only do marriage certs by post not pdf. Post from the UK post Brexit takes a little longer now. I'll let you know as soon as I get it.
Happy Bastille day!
