@ William Frederick Baldwin born 1835. William Frederick is my Great Great grandfather and he is the son of Edwin 1805 and Alice Clark 1810. William Frederick 1835 married Margaret Smith, the daughter of James Smith 1820- and Ann Kelly 1822, in Bundarra on March 13 1859.

Hi Rosemarie,
William Frederick is the one born 1847, son of Edwin and Christine.

William (no Frederick) is born 1835 son of Alice but not Edwin as Edwin was on Norfolk Island when William was conceived.

William (no Frederick) born 1835 married Margaret Smith.

Attached to their profiles are images of the records.

Hi Leanne
I've always been a bit confused about this area of the tree, I think there may have been uncertainty about the name being william frederick or just william for 1835. And Alice Clark being a busy lady with men over her life, there's so much to get confused with.

it was a very hard time for women in the early 1800's - they pretty much had no rights and with her husband in jail and with small children to feed she would have been in a very difficult position.
