Thomas Gladwin b 1846 Burton on Trent

[dairydairy]

Please can anyone help me find out Thomas Gladwin's parents? He was born around 1846 in Burton on Trent and is in the 1861 census as a Drummer in the Royal Navy on board the Neptune in Malta Harbour. By the 1881 Census his place of birth has changed to Littleover, Derbyshire. From the map, they don't look to be far apart. I cannot find him in the 1851 census which would probably have helped me find his parents. Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

Thomas Baldwin was baptised 03.04.1844 at Burton on trent..Father THOMAS GLADWIN.....haven't founf his mother yet...

He was a Royal Marine.and had a very worthy career..being invalided home from China in 1868 to Gosport Hants..where he immediately re-enlisted...he died in Chatham Kent................there's loads more if you want it.

Thank you Tina - I have all of the censuses apart from 1851, so cannot tell who his parents might have been. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. Catherine

Hi Derek,
Can you tell me where I can find this birth record as Baldwin?

Thank you,
James.

if the Derbyshire place of birth is correct there's a Thomas Gladwin birth registered in Bakewell Q1 1842. No mother's maiden name - suggesting illegitimate
