I'm not sure of Slowhands assertion of expertise, I have recently changed one of my lines of Baldwin's due to a posting on this web site. See below $$

My main interest is the Marfell family but I follow siblings and parents of spouses and sometimes get carried away by several generations, but this inevitably leads to other connections. Edward Baldwin is a case in point, he is not related to me, but his second marriage at Westbury on Severn Register Office on 9 Mar 1890 was to a Mary Ann Marfell nee Cloudley 1824/1899 :

Mary Ann nee Cloudley was already a 2nd cousin 5 times removed, before her marriage to William Marfell, my 1st cousin 4 times removed. William Marfell & Mary had 14 children before he died 12 May 1879 :

Edward Baldwin 1821's first marriage was to Lydia, but I do not know her surname and would be interested if anyone knows.

In my version of events, I have Edward Baldwin as the son of Cornelius Baldwin 1794 & Elizabeth Preece 1788 married 11 Aug 1816 8 children.

I have Cornelius as the son of Charles Baldwin 1755 & Elizabeth Dovey 1759 - daughter of William Dovey 1725/1795 & Elizabeth Tingle 1732/1790. The will of William Dovey of Ruardean 1795 refers to son-in-law Charles Baldwin. Elizabeth Tingle 1732 had a sister Sarah 1718 who married James Waldin 1712. Their daughter Sarah Waldin 1746 married Thomas Baldwin 1746, son of James Baldwin & Betty. A case of getting carried away - however - Thomas Baldwin 1746 & Sarah Waldin had a son Moses 1777 who married.............my 5 times Great Aunt Lucy Marfell 1775 and 2 of their 4 children married people already related to me.

Getting back to Charles Baldwin 1755 I have him as the son of Charles Baldwin 1737 & Betty. Charles Baldwin 1755 & Elizabeth Dovey had 11 children, including Winifred Baldwin 1797 who married Amos Yemm 1796 - 9 children & 3 of them married Marfell's, 3 others lead to other relatives of mine. Another of Charles Baldwin 1755 & Elizabeth Dovey's children $$ William Baldwin 1791 married Hannah Bailey 1789 and the thread shown below caused me to change my family tree :

It is a long thread, so I will paste in the relevant item dated 22 July 2012 and avoid confusion by changing it to italics :

It is rare to have such a nice day, so I will not be on line for long. But for continuity of the thread, and possible assistance from Slowhands !!

Thank you for your email, although I do have Ancestry membership I could not seem to get into your Public Access Bertha Baldwin 1891 Tree. Noting a few trees based upon this person, I looked at them and it has caused me to rethink my line here. I now believe that the William Baldwin who married Hannah Bailey was in fact William Baldwin baptised 16 Oct 1791, son of Charles Baldwin 1755 & Elizabeth Dovey 1759. The Ancestry tree's attribute the William Baldwin who married Hannah Bailey as being the son of Charles Baldwin 1737 & Betty, but I believe this is missing a generation. Charles Baldwin 1755 I mention above is the son of Charles Baldwin 1737 & Betty.

Another factor which causes me to believe this, is that one witness of the wedding between William Baldwin & Hannah Bailey was Winifred Baldwin. William Baldwin 1791, son of Chales Baldwin & Elizabeth Dovey, had a sister Winifred. The other witness was Charles Baldwin and he had a father and brother Charles.

I did note the deaths of William Baldwin & Hannah Baldwin nee Bailey from posted death certificates did occur on the same day but 21st January 1863, not as I previously said 1st January.

Always wishing to be as accurate as possible, I will - but not today and waste the sun - amend my tree as above.
