My great great grandfather was George Baldry born 1807 at South Elmham St. Margarets, he married Esther Read in 1841. They had a daughter Mary born 1829 Bungay who as far as I know never married. There was also a son George born 1851 at Bungay. George married Ann Tubby at Broome in 1876 and they had the following children Edgar born 1877, Ann born 1878, Reginald my grandfather 1879, Rosa born 1881, Hilda born 1883 and Keziah born 1887 all in Bungay. I would be very grateful for any information.

My Dad is researching his family tree (Woods/Hancy/Waters/Butcher and now Baldry).

My Dad's family, past and present, come from Bungay, Suffolk (on the border with Norfolk).

Dad's paternal grandmother's maiden name was Ada Butcher. Ada's mother's name was ANNA BALDRY. According to my calculations Anna Baldry would have been born in the early/mid 1800s. Anna married a soldier from Shropshire (his surname would have been Butcher, being Ada's father) but we don't know his Christian name, or the names of Anna's parents.

After a swift search, I couldn't find any references to an Anna Baldry on your website, but I probably haven't looked very well - can you confirm? Any information would be gratefully received.

We are trying to contact a Peter J Baldry who we reckon would probably be around 60 years of age and we think lives in or around Anglesey in Wales. Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated......please e-mail us

I have been trying for some 30 years to track my earliest known ancestor, William Baldry/Bauldree/Baldree to his place of origin. The first record I have of him is on a tax payers list in Pitt County, North Carolina in 1755. He received several land grants from the Crown in Pitt County. He died in 1762.

It has long been a belief in my family that he, William, came from England. It is also a belief that the Baldry/Bauldree/Baldree line descends from the French Huguenots.

I am wondering if you might have any information that could possible tie in to my William. I have been able to track most of William's descendants, but am jolly well stuck on where William came from. Any information that you may have would be greatly appreciated.

I happened to find an IGI entry there for John Thomas as the son of Thomas Baldry & Mary. I'd like to submit the following information:
My family link is the marriage to Rebecca. She was the sister of my gggfather, one Hopson Woddas Gibbs.
I have not followed this link but would dearly love to flesh out this branch of the family. Any input would be appreciated.

I am researching the family history of an old friend from university days, Janet Barrell, whose family were millers in Huntingfield (first mention 1823, last mention 1908). I have a lot of information about the family, who came from Eyke before Huntingfield, and one of them is Ellen Eliza Symonds, baptised at Sweffling 21 March 1847, the daughter of Robert Symonds (Farmer) and Sarah Baldrey (died 26 January 1875 at Peasenhall - nothing else known).

Ellen Eliza was married to Henry Barrell (born Huntingfield 14 March 1838) and the mother of fifteen (15) children, among whom was George, born 06 June 1870, the grandfather of my friend Janet.
Is this Sarah Baldrey one of your Baldreys? Can you tell me anything more about the family? I visited the Suffolk Records Office last Friday but found only the baptism of Ellen Eliza Symonds and the death of her mother in the records. Her father (I presume), Robert Symonds, is listed in the 1874 White's Suffolk Directory as a farmer in Huntingfield.

Have you been to Huntingfield? Do you by any chance know if the mill is still there? I have copies of pictures dated about 1927 from the Suffolk Record Office archives which show a beautiful, elaborate post mill and the mill house, a substantial pile presumably built to accommodate the family with 15 children.

All information and suggestions welcome! Please e-mail me.

My name is Martin William Baldry and I too am searching for info re. my family connections.
Born 11/07/66 in Dereham,Norfolk.
Father-----Sydney Frank.
Grandfather-------Earnest Frederick.
It is thought that my great grandfather moved to central Norfolk from somewhere in London. Dan Baldry from the Fakenham area of Norfolk told me some time ago that it is thought one of the first "PEELERS" (policemen) was a Baldry. I wonder if anyone out there can help me.
