    • Occupation: 1845; Lamp Maker

    Notes:

    I am indebted to Maurice Taylor for the information regarding Jeremiah (Jemmy) Baldwin. Maurice's Grand Mother, Emily Agnes Naylor (1885 - 1975), the great grand daughter of Jeremiah told his Mother that, " he was black, a Mulatto , and a musician probably a violinist ----------- The family from Colne (Lancs) " The photograph Maurice provided of Caroline Baldwin, his daughter, certainly shows some coloured blood. A Mulatto is strictly speaking one of 1/4 coloured blood but at this time could refer to anyone of mixed race
    The reference to Colne turns out to be where Caroline Baldwin ended her days. After her husband Elisha died it appears she went to live there with one of her two daughters who married into the area, Caroline (Proctor) and Emily (Smith). Many thanks to Darran Walton who's keen eye helped solve this conundrum.
    .
    ********************************************************************** *******
    The evidence of Jeremiah's parentage is convincing although purely circumstantial at present Viz:

    Jeremiah's death was registered by Sarah Chinn and it appears he died at her house.

    In the 1841 Census Birmingham Cheapside, St Martin's Parish at Barford Street
    Jeremiah Baldwin 25 Musician No
    Mary Baldwin 25 No
    *William Baldwin 8 Yes*
    James Baldwin 4 Yes
    Caroline Baldwin 1 Yes
    John Chinn 40 Chainmaker Yes
    Sarah Chinn Not Known No

    *AKA William Henry Walker*

    John Chinn Married Sarah Baldwin, a widow, at St Philip's Birmingham on 19 Dec 1831 and in 1836 witnessed the marriage of Jeremiah to Mary Ann Walker.

    And at St James St Rushall in 1851 Census were :-

    CHINN John HD 53 Chain Maker WAR Birmingham
    CHINN Sarah WI 55 WIL Devizes
    BALDWIN James GS 14 B. Birmingham

    John Chinn was buried St Michaels Rushall 11 3 1855 age 54 address given as Saint James Street, Ryecroft, Walsall; STS

    In the 1861 census at 39 Ann St Rushall Sarah Chinn Widow 65 born Wiltshire Devises
    and James Baldwin Grandson 24 born B'ham

    The marriage certificate of the above James Baldwin quotes " Father Jeremiah, Musician " Witnesses were Caroline Hill nee Baldwin and Elisha Hill her Husband. Her marriage certificate quotes " Father Jem'h Baldwin Fiddler "

    ********************************************************************** *****************
    The Baldwin family seemed to have a interest in Rycroft Walsall before the move there between 1841 and 51, Caroline Jeremiah's sister died there in 1837 although both Jeremiah, his mother and step-father were still in Birmingham.
