Bassett Family

[hibiscusgirl]

Hello
 I hope that you might be able to help me.
I am currently trying to trace the family of an elderly friend. I have had some success but as I don't have a subscription to Ancestry at present I am limited in my research.  My friends father was John Wilfred Bassett b. 4 July 1904 and died 8 July 1909 Ilkeston Derbyshire. He married 4 June 1932 to Sarah Ann Hallam. b. 13 April 1901 Shropshire. I have been able to go back one more generation and find John's father a George Basset b. 1877 Birmingham d. 1958 Ilkeston. He married 26 Dec 1896 to Ann Issett b. 1874. I also found their children.
I would love to be able to go a little further back if possible. I think George's father was also a George but that is all I can find.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I think you need to alter that 1909 death date to 1990

The 1896 marriage says his father is George Bassett deceased occ Gardener.  One of the witnesses was a Joseph Bassett. 

He was married in Ilkeston but resident in Heanor

Yes my mistake! It should be 1990.
Thank you for the extra information. The Joseph must have been a relative.

Do you know who George the gardener married please?

[rosie99]

In 1891 he is at Nook End, Heanor which ties in with the address on his marriage

Thank you so much for this help. I see one of the sons George at 14  is also a miner and I have heard this as a family memory. This has given me more to work on. I may find Frances's maiden name now with knowing her age too
