Hi Greg

Joseph Winifred Baldwin baptised 25 Dec 1864 Drybrook, was the son of Winifred Baldwin 1840/1867, his father was William Marfell born 23 Aug 1865, baptised 27 Dec 1835. They never married. William Marfell married Elizabeth Hartland 29 Jul 1869. Winifred Baldwin married Richard Sadler 1866.
As Slowhands has rightly surmised, Winifred was the daughter of William Baldwin & Hannah Smart. William & Hannah married 19 April 1823 Hope Mansell and had 12 children. Winifred’s sister Charlotte married Henry Sadler, brother of the Richard she eventually married. Winifred’s brother James (manager of Slad Pit) married twice, his second to Sophia Ann Morgan produced 9 children, including Ivo William Baldwin a Mining Engineer and Colliery owner, whose name appeared on the side of mineral railway wagons, reproduced as model versions. I believe there is a picture on this site.
Joseph Winifred Baldwin married Mary Jane Clayton 13 Sep 1890. I have the marriage certificate. They had 12 children. I have details of all. He died 27 Apr 1916 Boolara, Victoria, Australia. Buried 30 Apr 1916.
I have 23 William Baldwin’s in my family tree but the only one of an appropriate age to have emigrated in 1851, that had a father James, is the William Baldwin who married Hannah Smart and he was on the 1851 census in UK, and I believe died in 1861.
