Are you sure of the birthplace? There are a couple of possibles on census returns but neither mentions this!
Did find a Podington Northamptonshire??

Podington would come under Wellingbrough.
The nearest I can see, but not 1857

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Jun 1856
NORMAN William Ashwell - Wellingbro 3b 144

Possible:

Deaths Jun 1873
Norman William 16 Peterboro 3b 125

Death certificate would tell you more. (Too many possibles on 1871 census)
