A start on the Beech Family

The search for the Baldwins
Last time I mentioned the Baldwin’s it was in connection with Mary Ann Longton and her family. I still don’t have the marriage certificate or record for her and Thomas Baldwin but a Lancashire BMD search tells me that they married in 1908: BALDWIN / Thomas / LONGTON / Mary Anne / Parish Church, Coppull [...]
