William Baldwin died 1917 Perth Australia
I am researching my Baldwin’s from Cork, Ireland and I am now trying to trace Henry Baldwin’s son descendants William who I think was my Gt Grandmothers brother. William was born in Cork in 1836 and emigrated first to New Zealand and then to Australia. He was a captain in the Army and first joined the army in the 19th foot regiment. When the Indian Mutiny broke out he moved to the 85th Regiment. He married a Janet Buchanan. In 1873 he branched out into publishing and established the Otego Guardian, which he controlled until 1875. We know he had a son called Godfrey Buchanan and a daughter called Fanny Emma who married Hon. Edmund William in 1883. He died on 30th July 1917 in Perth Australia. Does any one know of any descendants please let me know.

Hi I have information on Henry Baldwin and his decendants in Australia. Henry came as a convict on the Admiral Barrington and married Elizabeth Carpenter who came "free" on the Nile with her husband Rayner and child Jemima.

Hi - I am a descendant - Wiliam Baldwin was my Great-Great grandfather.
Another one of Janet Buchanan and William Baldwin's children, Olave Janet Baldwin was my Great Grandmother.
She married Admiral William Oswald Story of the Royal Navy and they settled in Canada.
Can you tell me more about Henry Baldwin?
