I am a soft southerner but would like to be proud of my northern
heritage.
All I know is my family were from the Birley Spa/Hackenthorpe area
at the beginning of the 20th century.
My great-aunt Doris Beardmore-Baldwin was born there in 1907.
My grandfather Harry B-B in 1913.
There were about 13 children in that generation some did not
have the Beardmore hyphenated and were plain Baldwin I am led to believe.
It is a mystery where the whole name came from.
The father of above children was John B-B,born ??? but the mother
was Clara nee Whitehouse who on the 1901 census lived in Birley Spa.
By rights I should belong to a huge family and as an only child would love to contact any family.CAN ANY KIND PERSON HELP??
