Have you looked on the 1891 census for a birthplace, it may be differently spelt? I could always do a search for you. Rebecca.

Hi, I have a dictionary of English place names and it doesn't show a North Beckford. Just BECKFORD - Hereford and Worcs. Linda.

I can't identify this place, but there is a Beckford between Tewkesbury and Evesham if that's any good. Stan

Siobhan I think this may be North Beckford, which apparently is somewhere near to Bath. Margaret
