G'day Dell,

G'day Jo,

Must congratulate you on setting up a BALDWIN One Name Study.

I've been a frustrated BALDWIN researcher for the past 10 years.

I had a William BALDWIN migrating aboard the Stately, sailed from London, England, on 27th January, 1851 and arrived in Auckland on the 1st June 1851. He left three months before 1851 Census.

On his NZ marriage certificate (1853) he didn't show his parents details. The only leads came from his death certificate that showed he was b. 1818 and his father's name was James BALDWIN.

I think I've found him in Gloucestershire, England as I've got a James BALDWIN marrying an Anne COTTON with a son William b. 1818.

Do you have any information on this family?

My maternal BIRCH line come from Hull, Yorkshire, England.

Await your reply.

G'day Mark,

Thanks for the email.

It could well fit but I'm still struggling trying to find out who William James BALDWIN's mother is. WJB was born in 1818.


It's still difficult to draw any definite conclusions.

Regards

G'day Cobbers,

Any body researching these names from County Down;

McFADDEN - Rathfriland, Down +1750

MASSEY - Saintfield, Down +1750

G'day Kerry,

I'm researching my BALDWIN ancestry from somewhere in England.

The suggested location is Kent, England but I don't really have anything to support this, only family folklore.

My BALDWIN information is down:

This is my brick wall, mainly because my g-g grandfather, William James BALDWIN, migrated to New Zealand two months before the 1851 British Census.
Just to complicate matters, he does not give any parent details on his New Zealand marriage and death certificates, with the exception that his death certificate [he died on the 11 May 1903, Barrett Street, New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand], gives his date of birth as 1818, Grennage (= Greenwich), Kent, England and his father's name as James BALDWIN.

WJB's father, James BALDWIN could have been born anywhere in England.

I have checked the 1841 British Census for Greenwich, England without success. I am presently  checking the rest of London but have had no success to date.

I have the 1851 Census Index for Greenwich, but there is no James BALDWIN listed in the index that would suggest any connection.

Hence I'm prepared to look at any family in England that has a James BALDWIN as it's head with a William James BALDWIN as his son.

The only other information that may be of use is the names of William James BALDWIN, who married Louisa INCH, in New Plymouth, NZ on 20 Jul 1853, children, all of whom were born and died in New Zealand and are listed
below:

   A.   Amelia BALDWIN, b. 09 Dec 1853, New Plymouth, New Zealand.
Amelia died 18 Oct 1912, Stratford, Taranaki, New Zealand.

   B.   Helen Philippa BALDWIN, b. 12 Oct 1855, New Plymouth, New
Zealand.  Helen died 11 May 1933, Iona Private Hospital, New Plymouth, NZ, buried: 13 May 1933, Hurdon Cemetery, New Plymouth, NZ.

   C.   Louisa Elizabeth BALDWIN, b. 01 Jul 1857, New Plymouth,
Taranaki,                             New Zealand.  Louisa died 24
Sep 1933, 332 St  Aubyn Street, New
Plymouth, NZ, buried: 26th Sep 1933, Te Henui Cemetery, New Plymouth, NZ.

   D.   Emma BALDWIN, b. 26 Jul 1859, New Plymouth, New Zealand.
Emma                            died 05 Oct 1929, buried: Okaiawa
Cemetery, New Zealand.

   E.   Thomas William BALDWIN, b. 07 Feb 1862, New Plymouth, New
Zealand.  Thomas died 11 Mar 1935, Whangarei Public Hospital, buried:
13 Mar 1935.
                             
   F.   Mary Alice BALDWIN, b. 04 Jun 1864, New Plymouth, New
Zealand.

   G.    Edmund Alfred BALDWIN, b. 06 Jun 1866, New Plymouth, New
Zealand, d. 24 Jan 1887, Town Belt, Dunedin, New Zealand, buried: 31 Jan 1887.

Family folklore has it that James BALDWIN was a minister of religion. If this is the case then it would have to be for a non-conformist religion, as I have checked the appropriate records for Church of England ministers.

Does any of the above sound familiar, in relation to your BALDWIN family?

Look forward to your reply.

Regards

Greg Baldwin
