So why does GlosBMD show his mother's maiden name as Nurthen ?
Is this a real surname or an error ?
Is it relevant that her father is not named on the record ?.

Searching FreeBMD for all records with surname Nurthen, shows it is indeed a valid one albeit unusual.

Cannot find any earlier records for Hannah, but revisiting FamilySearch;

1851 Culvert St, Newent, Gloucestershire, England
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
William Baldwin Head M 24 Bricklayer. Newent, Gloucestershire
Hannah Baldwin Wife F 25 Newent, Gloucestershire
Albert W Baldwin Son M 3 Newent, Gloucestershire
Thomas Baldwin Son M 1 Newent, Gloucestershire

BUT I ALSO FIND THIS !

1851 Longhope, Gloucestershire, England
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
John Kearsey Head M 43 Master miller. Prestbury, Gloucestershire
Mary Kearsey Wife F 42 Weston Under Penyard, Herefordshire
Amelia Meek Visitor F 31 House servant. Weston Under Penyard, Herefordshire
John Beear Servant M 26 Journeyman Miller. East Down, Devonshire
William Baldwin M 16 Apprentice To Miller. Newent, Gloucestershire
John Chamberlain Servant M 45 Millers Loader. Blaisdon, Gloucestershire
George Coates Servant M 30 Labourer. Badgworth, Gloucestershire

Finally for now, searching this forum for "Kersey Newent" gave this prior post, which includes a mention of a Mark NURTHEN Kersey.. which is no surprise as this site's PR database includes over 100 Nuthern PRs, all in Newent or that area...
