Gumley Debdale , Leicestershire, Gumley, Leicestershire and Dedale Wharf Leicestershire

Are these or could these all be the same place ???

I have an ancestor who I believe was born in Gumley, he was not it seems baptised at Gumley, however I am aware that there are burials in the churchyard of the same surname.

I have found a Will for someone who is from Gumley Debdale , Leicestershire who could potentially be his brother and am aware that the surname is also associated with Dedale Wharf Leicestershire.
