Walter James and William Baldwin

[slimmer]

Looking for wives for either Walter james baldwin brn 27 jan 1883 at 1Parcy Villars Beckenham, and William baldwin brn 1886 Camberwell and if there any siblings

Have you got either in 1901 census? That would give an area nearer to marriageable age.

Then the full BMD indexes are currently free on Ancestry - so you can trawl through quarter by quarter and list 'possible' marriages for them.

Yes your last reply was right, thanks, I'm trying to find if they got married i know one had a daughter Frances ( which one) the story goes her mum died not long after she was born and henry and ellen (nee houghton)baldwin brought her up, any ideas

[lizdb]

Only idea is as before - to try and find a marriage or birth of children it is simply a case of looking for them! And it has never been easier than at the moment when the indexes are free to search through on Ancestry!

Watch for missing pages and bad indexing (often you can get the right page by keying in a name near yours in the alphabet). The thing to remember is that it is a simple alphabetical list, so there will be one page to look at for each quarter. Well, sometimes the surname you are lookng at may go across 2 pages, but you know what I mean.

HELLO I have an 1883 birth certificate for Arthur Parkin the address is 1 Percy Villas, Birkbeck Road, Beckenham, Kent.
I notice that your ancestor shares this address can you help. I have looked on Google earth but can only find 1 Birkbeck Road. Searches of census don't list this address. regards

[slimmer]

Hi davros1
I used to live in Percy Villas but that was in Penge which is just a little way down the road, didn't know there where any Percy Villas in Birbeck Road, Beckenham and Penge are next to each other, Percy Villas have been knocked down now I left there over 40 years ago, sorry can't help any more, thats all I know.

[davros1]

Thank you so much Slimmer for your quick reply. I think your address is probably the one. Maybe just a mix up on the address, because on another birth cert the place of birth is Penge. The dates are 1880s would that be the age of your Percy Villas?
Thanks Davros1
