BAMFORD/ PRICE - Leeds/Wortley 1921 census

[Katea3101]

Hi everyone. I haven't posted on here since 2019 as things dropped off with the ancestry. But since the 1921 census was opened I have discovered more and I have got back into it with a passion.
I'm struggling so looking for any help please?

*Back Story*

Looking up my great grandfather Clarence Arthur Bamford Price on behalf of my Grandad( his son) as he was adopted in 1908.
Have traced back to find his potential mother BERTHA BAMFORD(born Methley 1884 )- ( died Jackson) we belive she had 3 girls-
DORIS 29-09-02
HILDA 26-12-03
MABEL 11-12-05

WRIGHT(JOHN) BAMFORD DIED before Clarence was born but was named father on the baptism cert.

My g-g-dad was born CLARENCE BAMFORD 1908( on his b.c his mother was named as Lily Bamford/ no father( we belive lily was a fictional name as was illegitimate)

ALL BORN HUDDERSFIELD.

Clarence was adopted by George and Lucy Price( died priestley) in Royston.


Anyway... the 1921 census has shown Bertha living in Wortley-Leeds in 1921 remarried to JACKSON with her 3 girls named  as step daughters as well as 3 other children x2 named Jackson, and another MARTHA BAMFORD(1911)

I'm trying to trace anything about MARTHA BAMFORD in the hope she may have the same father as Clarence or it may help me out.

It's all very complicated and I'm really stuck if anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful.
My Grandad is 85 and really wants to learn about his father

Many thanks

Transcription of the 1921 in full will clarify the who/when where.

You can do that, just so long as you do not cut and paste any of it

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I don't understand?
I paid for the transcript of the census entry.
I'm just trying to find any more info on MARTHA BAMFORD.

An interesting article.

I'm sure the OP has checked freeBMD for the birth of Martha Bamford and found none in the Yorkshire area in or around 1911.

Between 1910 -1912, there were only 5 births of children named Martha in the Wortley reg district:

Births Dec 1910   
SMITH    Martha        Wortley    9c   344   

Births Mar 1911   
WIDDISON    Martha         Wortley    9c   379   
 
Births Jun 1911 
Hirst    Martha A         Wortley    9c   361    

Births Mar 1912 
Dawson    Martha    Harrison    Wortley    9c   783    

Births Dec 1912   
Crossley    Martha    Spooncer    Wortley    9c   711   

Since it's only a small number, I think I'd look at each of these and see if they can be accounted for elsewhere.

It seems likely that Martha married William Myers in the Leeds South district in 1935.

This Martha (?the right one?) is in the 1939 register, with a dob 10 April 1911; William and 2 children are also at the address.

The marriage cert for Martha and William might show a father's name --

There's an ancestry tree which does show Martha as the daughter of Harry Jackson and Bertha Bromwich. You could try contacting the tree owner to see if they have any more info.

Never rely on a transcript.  Go to the original image, and see what it actually states.

Martha Bamford could also have been a dancer in Rhyl.
