The Baldwins of England – Post Norman Generations

William Baldwin (1441- ?) married Jane Aylesbury (1443- ?) and is generally credited as being the father of three sons: Richard (1468-1485), Sir John (14701545) and Robert (1475-1536). There is a good deal of documentation for the three sons in the form of histories, wills and deeds to serve as proofs for their relationships, especially due to the notoriety of Sir John Baldwin, who was the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas during the reign of King Henry VIII. For the parents, William Baldwin & Jane Aylesbury, nothing specific save family trees with conflicting dates.

William and Jane would have to live to 1475 to be the parents of their third son Robert. Their death dates are unknown.

According to Baker, although the identity of Baldwin's first wife is 'uncertain', her first name was probably Agnes, and she was the mother of Baldwin's son, William, and three daughters, Agnes, Pernell and Alice:[1] However, as noted above, according to other sources, Baldwin's first wife was Agnes Dormer, the daughter of William Dormer (d.1506) of West Wycombe, and the sister of Sir Robert Dormer (d. 1552).[5][3]

William Baldwin (d.1538), was a lawyer of the Inner Temple.[1] He married Mary Tyringham, the daughter of Thomas Tyringham[6] (d. 28 September 1526) of Tyringham, Buckinghamshire, by Anne Catesby, daughter of Sir Humphrey Catesby of Whiston, Northamptonshire, but predeceased his father, leaving no issue.[7]

Agnes Baldwin married Robert Pakington (d.1536). Their son, Sir Thomas Pakington (died 2 June 1571), was one of Baldwin's heirs.[8][9][10]

Pernell Baldwin married firstly Thomas Ramsey of Hitcham, Buckinghamshire,[11] by whom she had a daughter, Elizabeth Ramsey, and secondly Edward Borlase (d.1544), Citizen and Mercer of London.[12] Their eldest son, John Borlase (c.1528 – 6 May 1593), esquire, was one of Baldwin's heirs, and was bequeathed all Baldwin's law books.[1] He married Anne Lytton, the daughter of Sir Robert Lytton (d.1550) of Knebworth.[12] After the death of his first wife, Pernell Baldwin, Edward Borlase married Joan Dormer, the daughter of Sir Michael Dormer.[13][14][15]

Alice Baldwin was the last abbess of Burnham Abbey.[16] She survived her father by only a few months, and in her will made provision for the erection of a marble tomb with depictions of her parents and their children.

Dictionary of national biography - Baldwin

BALDWIN, JOHN (d. 1545), chief jus tice of the common pleas, was a member of the Inner Temple, of which inn he was appointed reader in the autumn of 1516, at Easter 1524, and again in the autumn of 1531, while he twice filled the office of treasurer, in 1524 and 1530. In 1510 his name appears on the commission of the peace for Buckinghamshire, with which county he was connected throughout his life, acting on commissions of gaol delivery and subsidy, and for the assessment of the values of church property which formed the basis of the ' valor ecclesiasticus ' of 1535.

In 1520 he was a man of sufficient mark to be nominated on the sheriff roll, but was not selected by the king. In 1529 he was joined in commission with the master of the rolls, the chief baron of the exchequer, two of the justices of common pleas, and other distinguished lawyers, to hear causes in chancery committed to them by Cardinal Wolsey, then lord chancellor ; and in the following year, on the cardinal's fall, he was selected to hold inquisitions as to the • extent of his property in Buckinghamshire, lie sat in the House of Commons once, being burgess for Hindon, in Wiltshire, in the parliament which met on 3 Nov. 1529, and continued till 4 April 1536.

On 13 April 1530 he was appointed attorney-general for Wales and the Marches (which were then governed by the Princess Mary's council under the presidency of the Bishop of Exeter), and also of the county palatine of Chester and Flint. He vacated these offices on the appointment of Richard Riche on 3 May 1632. His patent as serjeant-at-law is dated 16 Nov. 1531, but the title is given to him two months earlier in a commission of gaol delivery for Bedford Castle. Shortly after this promotion he ac companied Sir John Spelman as justice of assize for the northern circuit, and was placed on the commission of the peace in Cumber land, Northumberland, Westmoreland, and Yorkshire. He still, however, served on the commission of gaol delivery at Aylesbury in the same year. According to a manuscript copy of Spelman's 'Reports,' quoted by Dugdale, he and Thomas Willoughby were the first serjeants-at-law who received the honour of knighthood. This was in Trinity term, 1534.

In the following year (19 April 1535) he was appointed chief justice of the common pleas, and almost the first cases in which he acted in a judicial capacity were the trials of the prior of the London Charterhouse, Bishop Fisher, and Sir Thomas More for treason. He also acted in the same capacity at the trials of Anne Boleyn and her companions, of Lord Darcy, and the ringleaders of the northern rebellion. He appears to have lived principally at Aylesbury, from which place two letters from him in the 'Cromwell Correspondence' in the Public Record Office are dated, and in his later years, acquired a considerable estate in the county, consisting of the house and site of the Grey Friars at Aylesbury (Pat. 32 Hen. VIII, pt. 8), and the manors of Ellesborough and Dunrich, forfeited by the attainder of Sir Henry Pole and the Countess of Salisbury.

According to an inquisition taken at Aylesbury on 22 Dec. 1545 he died on 24 Oct. in that year, leaving as his next heirs Thomas Packington, son of his daughter Agnes (whose husband, Robert Packington, M.P. for London, was shot in Cheapside in 1536), and John Burlacy, son of his daughter Petronilla. In the pedigree in Harl. MS. 533 the elder daughter is called Ann, and Foss gives her name as Katharine, on what authority does not appear. He had also a son William, who married Mary Tyringham, but died in his father's lifetime. His widow became a lunatic shortly after his death. An extract from his will is given in the inquisition.

1. John BALDWIN was born in 1415.

John BALDWIN had the following children:

+2 i. William BALDWIN. 3 ii. Sylvester BALDWIN died in 1503. May have married Sara(h) Gelly? I have seen this Sylvester son of John (b1415) as died in 1503 and married to Sara(h) Gelly. I have also seen a Sylvester (no father listed) who married Sara(h ) Gelly and died in 1593. There has been some speculation that Sylvester is the father of Henry who married Alice King I have found no evidence of this and the dates seem to far apart for this to be likely.

He aquired a house and site of the Grey Friars and the manors of Ellesberough and Durich" (Dist Am. Biog.) Colonel Chester says he was given the Manor of Dunridge in Bucks by Henery VIII shortly after 1541, and that he died in1545. When he died he left no surviving sons. The D.N.B. article says he had a son William, who married Mary Tyringham, but died during his father's lifetime. The estate passed to his heirs, Thomas Packington, son and heir of his daughter Agnes, wife of Robert Packington, and to John Burlacy, son and hair of his daughter Petronilla. The manor then passed to Thomas Packingto n's son and heir, John, who in March 1577/78 alienated to Henry and Richard Baldwin, who in 1579 paid the taxes on the manor. These are considered by Col. Chester to be father and son. In 1553 two brothers, Richard and John occupied Dundridge. Thi s was but eight years after the death of Sir John. These brothers are probably the sons of Richard - the brother of Sir John.
