In the 1861 census in Bedwellty Parish, Monmouthshire in the same household as John Baldwin/Baldwyn and wife are his son-in-law, daughter, and 2 granddaughters along with a John Badam, age 55, widow, a cordwainer, who is listed with a birthplace of St. Marys, Breconshire. Although the birthplace for John Badam on the census records doesn't match I wonder if the name Badam and Betham are one and the same?

Thank you for the leads on Mary and John Baldwin. Have the bastardy records been microfilmed? I live on the west coast of the USA and a trip to the area is out of the question for several years.

Thank you again for the help and expertise!
