I see he has middle initial H on 1871 census

William H Bamford
Sep qtr 1925
Age at Death   59
Reg district Birkenhead
Vol   8a
Page   517

ADDED possibly ignore that one as there is a marriage between a William Henry Bamford & Margaret Bellew that would tie in with it.

Think it should be 1891 - they are in Farnworth then  :)

Can't see a marriage for them - when you say "Her partner" do you mean they weren't married?

There's a single William Bamford visitor, right age, birthplace and occupation in Kingston upon Thames in 1901.

Wouldn't have thought there were too many with those matching details around esp birthplace.

PS Snap Rosie again  :D

Age slightly out but there's a death for Margaret Bamford - if she was a Bamford - age 36 W Derby
Sep 1900. 
However if they weren't married then William is correct to put single in 1901 and not a widower I guess.

1901 original page says born Halifax, North America.

It's only an Ancestry transcriber who has translated that into USA!

Same age; same occupation; same birthplace.

Too much of a coincidence? ;D
