- Residence: Between 1839 and 1845, Barford Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
- Occupation: Between 1840 and 1845; Musician - Fiddler
- 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.
