Convict Notes
Death at Walbrook. After a residence of sixty years. A very old and highly respected resident of Walbrook has passed to her reward, in the person of Mrs. Josiah Baldwin. Deceased had been in failing health for some time previous to her death, and her end was not unexpected. Mrs. Baldwin was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, 89½ years ago. Deceased is survived by three sons and two daughters, William Baldwin, of Isabella, Joseph and James Baldwin, of Walbrook, Mrs. Ryan, of Isabella, and Mrs. Wildes, of Campbell's River. She was of a kindly and charitable disposition, and had endeared herself to a large circle of friends. Deceased was buried in the R.C. cemetery, Isabella, beside her late husband, Josiah Baldwin, who died eighteen years ago. Despite snow which lay five inches on parts of the road, about 150 people attended the funeral, some journeying long distances to be present. Lithgow Mercury, 19 June 1911.
Josiah Baldwin also gave evidence in another trial, in 1861, for the murder of a man who was found near his home. From his evidence, it appears he lived at Walbrook, near Bathurst, and was a married man. Report of the Trial below: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/62402571?searchTerm=Josiah Baldwin
Convict Index, 1791-1873. Josiah Baldwin, Manlius, 1827, Ticket of Leave, 36/958. District, Bathurst; Tried, Lancs Ass. Josiah Baldwin, Manlius, 1827, Conditional Pardon, 30 Jul 1847.
Josiah Baldwin was a witness in a trial in 1828, of two men accused of cattle stealing at Bathurst. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/36865873?searchTerm=Michael Pearson Josiah Baldwin — I lived in Bathurst in September last. I am an assigned servant to Mr. Harrison who has a farm there. About the beginning of September last, I saw Gunning, who was a free man. He was out of place, and came to stop at my place for a few days—during which time he assisted to milk the cows. Cross-examined. I cannot swear that the brand now produced is the brand cut out of the hide of the heifer. The colour and size correspond. Gunning cut out the brand. I did not cut out the brand certainly. I did not give this part of the hide to my dog to eat. I am a prisoner of the Crown. I have been in this Colony about 15 months. I came out here for life. I was transported here from Lancashire for breaking the machinery. I have never been taken before a Magistrate for any misconduct since I have been in the Colony, and I have been but in one service. The Australian, 28 Nov 1828. 1828 Census Index. Joseph Baldwin, Manlius, Gaol, Sydney. (His imprisonment was presumably, because he was testifying at the above trial.)
Lancaster Spring Assizes. Josiah Baldwin, 22, Mark Cockerill, 20, Richard Tattersall, 30, George Ashworth, 21, Ann Ingham, 20, Lawrence Hardman, 37. and Thomas Emmett, 22. These were indicted for destroying machinery belonging to Mr. John Ormerod, at New Church on the 20th of April. No evidence was offered against Tattersall and Ashworth. The learned judge summed up the evidence, and the jury found all the prisoners Guilty, except Tattersall and Ashworth. Ann Ingham was recommended to mercy. Manchester Courier, 19 Aug 1826.
