The Quebec parish records are found in the Drouin Collection which is available through Ancestry with a Candian or World sub. Also available through Ancestry Library Edition if your local public library subscribes and through Family History Centers (the familysearch folks) that subscribe to Ancestry.

The online records generally go up to about 1941 with a few scattered ones beyond that year.

I find births for two children to a Baldwin father and Jobson mother -- one is born 1942 in Colchester and the second in 1947 also in Colchester.  This suggests that perhaps Hugh and Mary moved back to England in time to have the second baby and that the divorce may have occurred in England?

Is there any record of his wife Mary and first child C? They were repatriated in 1946 giving the mother in laws address in Canada. Unfortunately I can't find them on any passenger list although I know they must have returned as she remarried in 1957.

Yes, she is the child born in 1942.  The second, another daughter, was born in 1947. Not supposed to name living people in our posts, so you should edit yours to just use an initial. You might want to get a copy of the one in 1947 to see if it is indeed the same couple.

These are just entries from the English civil births index so I don't have any additional info. The births took place in England.

Hugh H. Baldwin was the son of William Baldwin and Lucy Bragg both from Pouch Cove Newfoundland. Hugh and his brothers William and James and half-brother Frank Sullivan served in WWII so I suspect her met Mary Margaret Kathleen Jobson while stationed there. I have been researching the family, which is an incredibly huge Newfoundland one, but Hugh has been very elusive. His original name, I believe, was Uriah Horatio after two uncles but at some point he changed it to Hugh. He died in 1985 and is buried in Montreal. I have not found information other than what is posted here after his military service, so would appreciate any information on him that members would share. I will assume that if his wife returned to England and remarried that there was an actual divorce but is anyone aware of whether when she returned he went with her and the marriage broke up in England or did she leave him in Montreal.
