Baldry

[Sheela]

I have looked on the 1901 census but I cannot find Edward Albert Baldry born 21 November 1900. His father was Frederick Baldry and I can't find him either. The only information I have on Frederick is he was a slaugherman and lived in the Stratford area of London.
Edward Albert was one of 13 children he had an older brother named Fred and a younger brother called John - This is about all I know. Please can anyone tell me what I should do next to find out more about Frederick Baldry.

as dotty has shown you,in those days the writing and spelling was pretty bad so variations of the names is a way of getting info you need,one of my ancestors was listed as christian name as surname,so sometimes its very confusing.

My thanks to you both for your valuable help. It never occured to me to look under a different spelling. Baldry is my husband's side I'm looking for, it's been difficult because there isn't anyone he can ask but there will be no holding me now that you've given me a kick start. At 77 years old i've left it a bit late to start my research but I am
enjoying it and it keeps my out of mischief!!!
My thanks to you both for taking the time to help me.

Hi Sheela
I noticed your question on here from last November '07 regarding Frederick Baldry. My Great, Great Grandfather was George Baldwin Sweetland Baldry born in Willow Walk, Cambs. He is Frederick Ernest's older brother. You'll see on the 1891 Census Frederick is living with George & his wife in Shadwell. Frederick is shown as Ernest not Frederick. There parents are George Baldry & Mary Sweetland Baldry.
You may have found most of the Baldry's you've been looking for by now - but if you haven't I've managed to find out quite alot about them if you're interested.
