Dear Mr Ashton

You are confused! So am I! i have a Cornelius Baldwin in my tree who apparently has nothing to do with the Cornelius Baldwin i have in my tree who married Fanny Hall.

John Boughton born in 1834 and married a Sophia Smart (born in 1840 and died in 1909). They had a daughter called Lucy Boughton born in 1882 and died in 1916 aged 34. She married Cornelius Baldwin and they had a son called Cornelius Baldwin. She died when he was 9 months old and so was adopted by Lucy's brother and sister.They changed his name to Cornelius Boughton - just to confuse things. Nobody seems to know what happened to his blood father, Cornelius Baldwin (b1876)

By the way, i notice that you come from Locking? My father was stationed there in the war - he met my mother at the winter gardens in Weston Super Mare
