It's possible Harriet, partner of Richard Lewty, did move back to Bradford with him and was still in a relationship with him in 1866.
There's a newspaper report (Leeds Times 08 September 1866) of a Miss Ellen Rainbow (weaver) bringing a charge against Mrs Harriet Lewty (weaver) in the Bradford Borough Court for having falsy charged her with being too intimate with her (unnamed) husband. Of course this may not be the right Harriet Lewty, or Harriet Carter, but I can't find another HL in the Bradford area, except for a Miss Harriet Lewty, b 1840 dau of Robert Lewty, blacksmith, who married in 1867 in Bradford (became Mrs John Poole) and so doesn't easily fit the newspaper report. Interestingly, Ellen Rainbow (if I'm looking at the right person in 1871, b 1840 living in Bradford, a worsted weaver) was born in Leicester!

When Harriet Carter's brother marries in May 1855 St Marg's Leicester, one of the witnesses is Harriet Noon. There are other Harriet Noon's around, though those in Leicester are probably a bit young to be witnesses when we have a more obvious candidate.

For the record, Joseph Snr's wife was Elizabeth Beckwith, born c1803 Madras, died in Leicester Workhouse 1884. She's on all the censuses up to 1881 and her information is consistent.
Loadsa Bodycotes Libby and all ultimately connected, but I just haven't the strength. Thank you Merry for all your suggestions and for highlighting what might be another pattern of migration. The fact that Harriet Lewty didn't have any children may be the clincher as it seems JNB and Harriet didn't have any either.

Yes, I thought that about the no children thing for Harriet. Richard Lewty had at least 2 children once he was with Mary Walker. He died after 6 years of marriage.

Is there any connection the Aussie Bodycotes? There are quite a few mentioned in Trove.

I wouldn't want to worry anyone in the NSW area, but there are Bodycote descendants in Toowomba ...
