	On the online map I use (Memory-Map) there is Old Basford and New Basford - both near each other right in the centre of Nottingham. Basford Green is in Staffordshire, so I think it's the Nottingham one you want. Kath. x

	If you go to Free BMD and find the marriage and click on Basford it tells you that Basford spans the boundaries of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Incidentally the bride's name was Hilda G. Lawrence.
