Dear Nigel,

I am a descendant of Richard Baldwin and Sarah Herbert's daughter Mary. She married Joseph Hale in 1805. I have not yet been able to establish with any certainty when and where Richard Baldwin was born but it does not appear to have been Ruardean. Sarah Herbert on the other hand has very deep Ruardean roots and I am also descended from her brother William.

Best wishes

James Phillips-Evans

I have Richard Baldwin who married Sarah Herbert as being born 1744. They were married 15.10.1770, but unfortunately the marriage entry does not give parents. Like Turbo Chef I too would like to establish the parents of Richard Baldwin.

Hello, I am wondering if you could clear up a bit of a mystery for me. You have a Mary Baldwin born in 1781, daughter of Richard and Sarah Baldwin, who marries Joseph Hale in 1805. I have a Mary Baldwin listed as the mother of John Baldwin. John was born in 1796 in Ruardean. John is listed as the base child of Mary Baldwin. As of yet I have not been able to determine a likely candidate for the father of John. In Sept. 1805 a Mary Baldwin marries a James Betham ub Ruardean. In 1806 a John Betham is baptised in Ruardean to a James and Mary Betham.

In the 1861 census entry for my John Baldwin in the village of Victoria, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire is John and wife, his daughter, son-in-law and another male, 55 year old John Badam (RG9 / 4004).

As of yet I have not found James or Mary Betham/Badham in the 1851 census records.

1841 census in Breconshire, Llyswen, HO107 / 1370/20 is the family of James Badham, age 60, farmer, Mary Badham, age 60, and John Badham, age 32

So, my question is if my Mary Baldwin who was the mother of John Baldwin is the same woman who married Joseph Betham who are her parents? Were there 2 Mary Baldwin's born ca 1781 in Ruardean? One who married Mr. Hale and one who married Mr. Betham?

I too am descended from Richard Baldwin and Sarah Herbert, through his son Moses (b.1783). But I've come across a slight discrepancy and was wondering if anyone could help. I am interested in Moses' daughter Abiah, but looking at her baptism record on the Parish Records database, her mother is listed as 'Lucy'. The same goes for her brother, Cornelius. But the Moses that I can trace in the records was married to someone else entirely and had other children.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Was Moses living a double life?!

I have two Moses Baldwins born about the same time in my Family Tree.

Together with two fellow researchers (who both post to this site) I have tried to ensure we have the right one married to the right person, together with their subsequent offspring.

Moses 1. baptised 20.3.1783 buried 1.7.1864 son of Richard Baldwin & Sarah Herbert.
Married Ann Brain 13.7.1803 Ruardean. Ann baptised 17.8.1783 buried 2.12.1812 Ruardean
Children Aaron 1804, Moses 1807 & William 1809
Census info :

1841 Census The Pludds next door to brother Aaron
Moses Baldwin abt 1783 Dean Forest
Moses Baldwin abt 1807 Dean Forest

1851 Census
BALDWIN Moses Widow/er 71 Labourer East Dean
Moses 44 Cripple East Dean

Moses 2. baptised 22.10.1777 died 1841 son of Thomas Baldwin & Sarah Waldin
Married Lucy Marfell 17.4.1808 Abenhall. Lucy born 1775
Children Cornelius 1807, Abiah 1808, Lucy 1811 & Joseph 1814
No census info.

If anyone else can add to the above, I would be interested.
