Please help to find where George BALDWIN is buried (1854) - Thorpe Hamlet ?

[terngirl]

I hope someone can please help to find where my maternal GGG Grandfather is buried.

I am on a bit of a emotional roller coaster ride at present. I have been searching for years (along with my cousins) to find the death date and place of my maternal GGG Grandfather. I found online last night some transcribed memoirs on the Thorpe Norwich site, written by my GG Grandfather Jesse BALDWIN which I never knew existed. I am endeavoring to find out who the person was that transcribed the letter as I would say they are a direct relative of mine. In  this partially transcribed letter, it states where and when his father died.

George BALDWIN was killed on Jan 5 1854 in a horrific train smash in Thetford. He was a stoker on one of the trains that collided with another. I have now read many articles about the accident in newspapers from the time along with the rather graphic detail of his death, inquest etc.

At the time of Georges death, Jesse writes his father was working Eastern Counties railway - now altered to the Great Eastern Railway. Further into the memoir he says he was living in at 12 Railway cottage Thorpe Hamlet.

Jesse writes that his father was brought home in a coffin, so I know that after the accident he was brought home to "Theoulds Buildings near Foundry Bridge, Norwich at the house next to the river in the first row"

However, my quandary is I cannot find where George BALDWIN is buried.

Any information on George would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hi

Just been reading the newspaper articles and checked freeBMD , you may want to alter the year of death to 1854  , to aid others searching.

Thanks for the posting however I don't think it is him. There does not appear to be any association with this area of Norfolk with him or his family the family plus George was 41 when he died.

I wont discount it though and will look into it further.

Kind regards

Hello Tern,

Don't want to throw a spanner in the works, but there were two baptisms in Thorpe Hamlet by a George and Sarah Ann Baldwin after the date you gave of George's death.

First one was in November 1854 -

and the second was a Jesse, baptised July 1856 -

This area of Norwich was in the St Peters registration District
