William Booton dies in Bagworth in Jul 1935.

All except for the 1871 census Ann says she was born in Derby, Derbyshire.

Where and who were her parents?

Where did she die?

She had 13 children in total, probably went for a rest.
 
From the Leicestershire Mercury 3rd May 1937 - what do you reckon, it's the road she was living in in 1921.
A Bagworth woman, mother of nine children three of whom are at school was fatally burned while doing a kindness to a friend in the village. She was Mrs Beatrice Shaw (47) wife of William Shaw a miner employed at Nailstone Colliery living at 121 Barlestone-road Bagworth. Mrs Shaw was papering an empty house in Thornton-lane End Bagworth having offered to help the new tenants before they took possession. She was alone in the house with the exception of a Mrs Twigger who was working in another room. The house had been occupied for a long time by Mrs Annie Elizabeth Booton an 86-year-old widow who died three weeks ago

Not sure about this one, but things seem to fit for your Ann Gamble

1850 Belper (June qtr - 19 458) Thomas Gamble marries Mary Trowell
1851 census HO107/2141/336/8 Draycott, Shardlow
1854 Shardlow (Sept qtr 7b 313) Hannah Gamble birth registered
20/8/1854 baptised at Wilne (LDS transcription on FMP)
1861 census RG09/2499/95/22 St Peter Derby Thomas and Mary and 3 children including Hannah
1871 census RG10/3567/5/4 St Peter - Thomas and Mary and 5 children, Hannah is missing
it looks like Thomas dies in 1872
I cannot see a Hannah (Ann) Gamble on the 1871 census making her a candidate for your Ann Gamble who married Peter Bateman in 1868
A white lie about her father's demise to cover just how young she really was, perhaps

Check it out when you get home tonight.
 
Leicester Chronicle 7th February 1885
An inquest was held on Thursday at the Barrel Inn, Bagworth, before the coroner, G. F. Harrison, Esq., on the body of Peter Bateman, who died from injuries received at the colliery on the 3rd ult. Wm. Brainbridge, collier, stated that on the morning of the 3rd January he was working with deceased in the mine. There were two props under a large stone, which weighed about a ton, that deceased wished to get away from the roof to widen the roadway. He took away one of the props, and was proceeding to test the roof when the atone slipped and fell upon him. With assistance he extricated him after the lapse of a quarter of an hour. William Sperry, night deputy at the colliery, said he passed the part of the mine where deceased was working before the accident, and it appeared all right. Deceased could have tested the stone sufficiently for his purpose without going underneath it. Mr R. H. Thomas, surgeon, stated that deceased died from exhaustion, resulting from the injuries he received at the mine, and a verdict was returned accordingly.

The pdf certificate arrived today.

You've done it again (+)(^^)(+)

Ann Elizabeth Booton died 3rd April 1937.
Wife of William Booton
and the cincher the death was registered by Hilda Heathcote, daughter.

Hilda Booton (Ann and William's daughter) married Walter Knifton Heathcote on 11 Mar 1916 in Chapel of the Holy Rood, Bagworth, Leicestershire.

You lot are very good.
 
I don't think Ann Gamble could actually make up her mind who her father was.

When she married Peter Bateman in 1868 she said her father was Thomas Gamble, Deceased.

When she married William Booton in 1889 she said her father was William Gamble a shoemaker.
