Hi

Just in case you are not aware of it 121 Highbury Road was the Basford Workhouse Infirmary. From the early 20th century they started using street addresses rather than the word Workhouse on the likes of Births & deaths.

Good morning!  Thanks to all for the Workhouse info - I see a trip to Nottingham/Ilkeston in my future.  ;) 
MargP - thank you for the information on John Fisher - it's exciting as I am now one step closer to finding living descendants with this information (once confirmed, of course). 
Has anyone stumbled upon any "Orme" information?  Harriet Fisher's grandmother, Sarah Orme, b. 1795, Ilkeston or Ripley(?) married John Orme, b. 1797, Ilkeston(?) and I would love to find out what Sarah Orme's maiden name was.  In DNA circles, she is my furthest maternal (mother to daughter to daughter to daughter, etc.) relative and I would like to learn more about her. 
Thanks again to all!

Thank you MargP!
I found the following, which could be Harriet's grandmother, and may explain why Harriet indicated that she was Methodist ...

Hi Carol

I am not 100% on this, but I think that Methodist's were baptized later in life
