BEARDMORE-BALDWINs from Hackenthorpe area

[tonyb-b 10]

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??

Hi Tony,

 

Still a bit of family mystery i am afraid and still trying to find out.  I have traced the baldwins as far back as i can.  My grandad was William (Bill) Martin who was the brother of our Aunty Doris.  Happy to compare notes and strangely i live in Haywards Heath so we are not far.  I dont know your connection but be great to say hello.  My my mum is Joyce martin.

My number is 07899 996166 if you fancy saying hello

 

best wishes

Andrew
