Fanny Baldwin was the daughter of my 3x gt. grandmother Margaret Cavanaugh (nee King) and her second husband Thomas Beach. As far as I can make out,her death was registered March quarter, 1853, Gloucester. Margaret was about 16 years older than Thomas and had 3 children when they married, twice,in 1823.The first marriage was 20th January, and Margaret declared herself a spinster and gave her maiden name of King. Trouble must have followed as they married again, 22nd June, giving her name as Cavanaugh, a widow.I have often wondered what the thoughts of the families were!I don't have a baptism for Fanny or her sons,Thomas and William. Margaret died November, 1850, buried at Parkend. Thomas remaried in 1853, a widow, Mary Mortimore.After the death of Fanny and his sons I am unsure what happened to William. In the 1871 census a Wm. Baldwin,widower aged 49 from Gloc. appears at Uckfield in Sussex and by 1881 has remarried but this is supposition. Margaret's children to Daniel Cavanaugh were James, 1811, married Eliza Brain, Thomas 1817-31, Catherine, 1820, married Enos Jenkins and emigrated to Pennsylvania. Hope this ties in with your findings.
