Ok...a few people have read this which is great, thank you.

It seems Alexander's passing is a wee bit hard to find as is his wife.

I am now hoping that someone may be able to find records for their children. I only have their birth/bap. Anything besides that would be fabulous.

G'day Clair

No had not checked that out earlier. Many thanks, will have a look now.

Cheers

G'day Steve

I think your Hugh BALDWIN and my Hugh BALDWIN are two different gents. I am fairly confident that mine is English. Although they share the same occupation - cordwainer I think that where the similarities end.

My Hugh married an Elizabeth NIBLOW in England.

Good luck with your searching.

Cheers

G'day Yokel

Thank you for the clarification. I don't have a very good geographic head when it comes to matters of England being from Australia. Your posting now looks very promising, I will definitely chase it up - thank you

Yorklass in regards to the two people you posted in 1854 and 1856, the first I have since found is a baby girl which died the same year as George 's death. Jesse briefly mentions in his memoir that his mother couldn't cope with the death of her husband; I don't know how or why the child died but it was a baby (poor little thing).

The second is Jesse's baptism which for what ever reason being, he was not baptized earlier. Perhaps it was due to his fathers death that mother was prompted to do something about it. 

Thank you both for your input.

Thanks Trish for the date, appreciate your time.

 I have been looking for him for most of today, very elusive.

Will keep searching.
