Great grandfather

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Judith Report 14 Jul 2010 07:24

Hi I am looking for help with some information about my great grandparents - my grandfather was George Orrell Baldwin, he was listed as an electrical engineer on the marraige certificate of my poppa George Charles Baldwin who married Hilda Alice Playford (27/07/1919). The address was shown as 3 Burnham Terrace, Richmond ,Surrey but I am now stuck. My mother (GC's daughter Erica) died at 39 so I have no real connection to the family we left behind in England after emigrating to NZ in 1957. Any help is appreciated.
