BASSFORD FAMILY HINCKLEY/OLDBURY

My great great grandfather was Walter Bassford, born 7 March 1825, in Hinckley.He appears to be the son of Edmond (or Edmund) Bassford and Jane James, who were married on 13 November 1821 at All Saints Church, Derby.
Walter became a soldier in the 29th Regiment and married my great great grandmother, Eliza Wood, on 27 January 1862 at St Andrew's Church, Newcastle upon Tyne.He later became a railway labourer.I possess a family bible, originally belonging to Walter's son, Alfred (my great grandfather), which contains details of family births, marriages and deaths starting with Walter's marriage in 1862.Unfortunately, it has no information about any events before 1862.
Walter died on 28 November 1906, at 19 Alexander Street, Leicester.
I'd be very interested to hear more about the Hinkley / Derby Bassfords and will happily share what little information I have.
