Hi Marion

I cannot tell you who Ellen's parents were, but I too would be interested as I already have 375 Baldwin's in my Family Tree and the information might make a further connection. As you will no doubt have discovered the 17th July 1836 marriage at Staunton shows no parents and it is of course just before the issue of certificates.

I can tell you if you don't already know, they produced 8 children and my interest is in their son Thomas born 1840 Lydbrook married twice, with his first wife Mary Ann Hale married 15.6.1862 Drybrook,they produced 3 children before Mary Ann's death 24.2.1867. Their daughter Clara born 9.1.1867 Hausley was no doubt the cause of her death. Clara married William Read 26.12.1863 Ruardean, son of William Read 1839 and Selina Marfell 28.10.1839, emigrating to LaSalle in 1885 after the birth of their second child - they had 9 children, the first Dora Harriett born 15.11.1883 Hausley married Edward Moll 16.8.1900 LaSalle, IL. USA - see Ed Moll picture I submitted to the Photo Gallery.

Following Mary Ann nee Hale's death, Thomas married Susan Howell 24.7.1870, In 1876 the family emigrated on the "Queen of Nations", initially settling in Queensland Australia but shortly after moving to Minmi, NSW (a coal mining area near Newcastle.
