Hi, I am researching my Baldwin ancestors that came from Steam Mills, Drybrook, Ruardean, East Dean and Forest of Dean area in the 1800s to 1573. Has anyone got any information on the Baldwins?

? To save Contributors time, how far back do you go etc.

Men in Armour for Gloucestershire 1608

on the website

Coaley net - (under the Section Local History, is Men in Armour 1608)

Just search for BAL

as the surname has been spelt BALDWYNE, BALDWIN, BALWIN, BALDWYN, on Men in Armour

There is for PAUNTLEY (Newent)

Richard BALDWIN husbandman, servant to the said Sir Henry POOLE, Knight. A60 (age approx 60) - tallest stature

etc. etc.

There is also a link to : Interpretation of Results which shows Richard, being of tallest stature fit to make a Pikeman...

and on Forest of Dean Records : another variation BALDWING

Thank you for your reply. Ive found Baldwin ancestors in the area going back to Thomas Baldwin 1630-1671 from Ruardean Hill. How do I do a Baldwin search? Can I search a specific Baldwin like Thomas? Sorry, I am new to this site, I do not know how to use it to search. Is there instructions anywhere? Thank you very much for your assistance.

Paul, thank you very much. most appreciated.

I never seem to be able to do the link to past posts...

If you use the Seach button - there are various posts which would be useful

One in 2006

Baldwin & Herbert families Ruardean Glos, which mentions Richard BALDWIN born 1731.

This one?

Thanks.

I was trying to follow BBaldwin's tree ..... but can't see a Thomas BALDWIN 1630.

There are a couple of BAULDINE - using the Soundex around that time.

Thank you very much for all of your assistance and comments.
