Janet‘s family is divided into two parts. Her father, Thomas Baldwin is a bit of a mystery. Since I don’t have his marriage certificate I do not know for sure where he was born or when. There are rumors that he may be from Cambridgeshire. I guess this is a case where I will have to get hold of the marriage certificate.
Her mother, Mary Ann Longton, on the other hand has been very easy to find. She comes from a family of farmers in Scarisbrick, Lancashire. They have had their fair share of illegitimate children in this family and this combined with them using four different churches to be baptised, married and buried in has it’s own difficulties. But thanks to Lancashire Online Parish Clerk Project I have now found quite a bit of this family already.
