Beauchamp & Baldwin Family Members
- Chertsey
I am looking for information on John and Mary Beauchamp both born in Chertsey around the 1800, they had three sons John, Joseph and William also born in Chertsey. John's son John went on to run a coffee house in Chertsey he also had three wives the first was Emma Baldwin of which he was accused of her manslaughter, i am still trying to find out more information on the case. i would love to find out more about Emma Baldwin & her family before her. John & Emma had a daughter also called Emma who was born in guildford in 1851, she went on to marry Thomas Godding but was disowned by her father and step mother for marrying below herself, from what i am told i do not believe Emma was aware that Sarah Beauchamp was her step mother as she always referred to her as her mother. Sarah and John went on to have a daughter called Mary. I am still looking into John Beauchamps third wife. I believe that the Beauchamps of Chertsey were some how related to the Beauchamps of Egham but i am still trying to find the link. If anyone out there thinks that they maybe able to help me i would love to hear from you.
