In the 'Baldry Extract' reference is made to the marriage of Elizabeth Haselip to Robert Long at Wrentham in 1808. Elizabeth and Robert were the parents of Hannah Long who married John Hogg in Hadleigh on 7th April 1831. They in turn had Susanna Hogg who married Frederick Cottingham Clark on 7th July 1864 in Hadleigh. Their son Ernest Hogg Clark was my grandfather. I would love to get back further on the Haselip connection but I cannot see the information is available on the web site. Can anyone help me? (see also this link)

My father John Charles Baldry traced our family tree back to Kelsale in Suffolk In the 16th century. Unfortunately shortly after his death these records were lost so I'm beginning to embark on recreating them. Any help would be appreciated.

From: David Calver e-mail him

My father did some searching a few years ago. According to bits and pieces we've located between us, we're descended from a namesake of mine, David Calver (born 1838 Framsden, christened 5th Aug 1838), son of Mary Calver, according to a Bishop's Transcript seen by my father. David was variously known as David Calver, David Baldry or David Baldry Calver in his childhood - the bishops transcript shows him as "David Baldry Calver", but later he seems to have settled on "David Calver". We're assuming he was born out of wedlock, not an unheard-of occurrence in those days in farming communities, and for some reason eventually settled on using his mother's family name.

According to my father, David Baldry Calver's father was Robert Baldry in Pettaugh or Framsden. We are joking with each other that perhaps we should be calling ourselves Baldry-Calver after all!

I'd be interested to swap notes with you about the potential connections between our two families in Suffolk in the early-mid 1800s, to see what the link is and find out about the Baldrys of that time. The Calver's hailed from various places in Suffolk, including William Calver in Reddenhall (b1779-ish) who we think was Mary Calver's grandfather. There were also Calver's in Wortwell, Fressingfield, Stradbroke and various other villages in that era - we haven't tied them all into our family tree yet, but many of them probably linked together at some previous stage in the history of East Anglia. If the Calver's and Baldry's moved in the same circles, perhaps there are other links yet to be discovered, going further back into the 1700s?
