I have a place called Basford as being the registered birth place of one of my relatives, but can't search more without finding out where it is. Could it be Derbyshire or Leeds? Help required to further investigations. Thanks Robyn

Do you have any more information? There is more than one Basford - there are two in Staffordshire and at least one in Nottinghamshire and probably many more! Sam x
