Radleys of Cork

NOTES ON BALDWIN FAMILY OF CORK CURRAVODY AND MT PLEASANT'………..

ELIZABETH BALDWIN married PHILIP HAWES CROSS of SHANDY HALL ,CORK in 1716.
They were my 5x great grandparents.

HENRY BALDWIN, born 1676 in Curravody, Mt Pleasant .Cork married JOHANNE FIELD
TRAVERS in 1695, daughter of WILLIAM FIELD and SUSANNAH BEECHER. Henry was the
father of Elizabeth Baldwin, who, in turn was the 3x great grandmother of RICHARD
HENRY RADLEY.

The children of HENRY BALDWIN and JOHANNE FIELD TRAVERS are as
follows……..Henry, William, ELIZABETH, Sara, Anna, Joanna and Mary.

HENRY BALDWIN, the son, married Alicia WARREN, 1728. One of his children was Alicia
Baldwin who married Rev JOHN MADRAS. JOHN MADRAS, son of Madras of Amsterdown,
was ordained French minister in 1735 and held that post till his death1773. In 1740 he was
appointed chaplain to the Earl of Kingston and in 1745 was created Procentor of Ross. He
is buried in the French church (My 4xgreat grandfather, JULIUS BESNARD, is credited
with starting that French church) These Anglo/Irish families are all related

This anecdote about BALDWINS is taken from Rosemary Ffolliotts IRISH ANCESTOR.

FRANCES FFOLLIOTT MD married Eva Catherine, daughter of JOHN BALDWIN of
Skibbereen 1849. His son Francis wrote "My grandfather had been attending Baldwins for
years and my father saved the life of my grandmother, Mrs Baldwin, and also my mother.
She was, (my mother) I believe, considered to be the most beautiful woman in the
county, but she was very proud and overbearing and I think, generally disliked. THERE IS
NO FAMILY I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS PROUDER OF THEIR PEDIGREE, THAN THE
BALDWINS. They had often said that the Ffolliotts were a respectable enough family, but
they should never have presumed to ask for the hand of a Baldwin!!

BALDWIN, Walter Junior, son of Walter Baldwin of Granahoonik. Mentioned in the report
addressed to the Court of Claims. Under the Act of Settlement, he obtained part of the
lands of Knocknough and Kilbolane. Walter Baldwin the elder, was the son of Herbert,
and grandson of Henry, the eldest of 3 brothers who settled here toward the close of
Elizabeth's reign. This Henry was the son of Henry, ranger of woods and forests in
Shropshire, who married Elinor Herbert, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Red Castle,
who was the 2nd son of the first Lord Pembroke. By Lady Anne, daughter of Lord Parr, of
Kendall, and sister of Lady Catherine Parr, surviving Queen of Henry VIII. Walter Baldwin
was succeeded by his son Henry, who married Miss Field, niece of Colonel Beecher of
Sherkin. He was succeeded by his son Henry (who married Elizabeth, daughter of Dive
Downes, bishop of Cork) by his 3rd wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Beecher of
Sherkin and relict of Capt Townsend. Henry had two sons, Henry, progenitor of the
Baldwins of Mount Pleasant and William, B.L.progenitor of the Baldwins of Lissarda; the
former married Miss Warren, sister of Sir Robert Warren, and the latter Miss French,
daughter of Alderman French of Cork. William of Lissarda, who was a very eminent
barrister, was succeeded by his son Henry, who married Miss Morris of Dunkettle, and
was High Sheriff of the county in 1777. He died, leaving amongst other issue, William who
married Mary Kirby, daughter of Franklin Kirby of Bamborough Grange Yorkshire. He was
also High Sheriff of the county in 1813. He died in 1838 leaving numerous issue.

THE BALDWINS CLAIM DESCENT FROM BAUDWIN (OR BALDWIN) BRAS DE FER, A
FRENCH NOBLEMAN ATTACHED TO THE COURT OF CHARLES THE BOLD, BY WHOM HE
WAS CREATED EARL OF FLANDERS. HE MARRIED JUDITH, CHARLES' DAUGHTER, AND
GREAT GRAND- DAUGHTER OF CHARLMAGNE. SHE WAS WIDOW OF ETHELWOLF, KING
OF ENGLAND AND STEPMOTHER OF ALFRED THE GREAT.

Further note on BALDWINS…………JOHANNE FIELD, was a niece of COL.THOMAS
BECHER/BEECHER. This would likely make SUSANNAH BECHER/BEECHER, married to
WILLIAM FIELD, the sister of Col THOMAS BECHER/BEECHER.

12 children All the girls married titled gentlemen.. One daughter is not mentioned in any
documents. ELINOR HERBERT who married WILLIAM BALDWIN, ranger of Royal Forests. BURKES
GENEALOGICAL AND HERALDIC DICTIONERY 1862 , does say that “a daughter of Sir Edward
Herbert married William Baldwin” Baldwins also quarter Herbert Arms. It may be that Elinor was
illegitimate, but as she had the blood line, they married her to a person who was not titled, but
high up on social scale. Open to correction., if anyone knows more.

POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF WILLIAM BALDWIN, RANGER OF ROYAL FOREST, SALOP……. SOURCE
History of County Shropshire, MUNSLOW VOL 10.

In 1428 WILL BAUDEWYN (fl1422) was listed with William Burley, Lord Furnivalle as a principal
landowner. He was a Munslow Freeholder, as were his descendents until 18th century. One of
them RICHARD BALDWIN (fl1523) was ancestor of Earl Baldwin of Bewdley, prime minister
1923/4, 1924/9 1935/7. A chief house that belonged to JOHN BALDWIN (died 1605) passed to his
son William (fl 1620) was possibly “FARM OF MUNSLOW” that Roger Baldwin, John’s uncle, had
bought from JOHN STRINGFELLOW (purchaser of a moiety of the manor) in 1553 for Pemberton,
was later called the OLD SCHOOLHOUSE”

In the 16th century, there was only 404 people in this area, so it would seem possible that
WILLIAM BALDWIN , ranger of Salop, was one of these Baldwins.Nothing proven.

MAUD PARR, cousin to ANNE PARR (LADY HERBERT) wife of WILLIAM HERBERT, EARL OF
PEMBROKE, AND KATHERINE PARR , WIFE OF HENRY VIII.

Katherine and Anne were the daughters of Sir Thomas Parr, a descendent of Edward III, and
Maud Green, daughter of Sir Thomas Green. In 1543 , Katherine married Henry VIII. She used her
position as queen to advance her family in the acquisition of wealth and status. MAUD PARR
LANE, her cousin was , on death of her husband SIR RALPH LANE, brought into the royal
household, and was known as Lady Lane. Her father was Sir William Parr, brother of Thomas
and her mother was Mary Salisbury. Katherine and her ladies became active in promoting
Protestant religion.

Members of the court persuaded Henry that Katherine and her ladies were plotting to change
the Roman Catholic religion to Protestant.

The arrests of ANNE (LADY HERBERT) LADY LANE AND LADY TYRWITT ,were ordered. Henry was
finally persuaded.that the ladies were innocent of the charges.

Today many of Sir Ralph Lane’s descendents live in America.

Source GREAT TALES FROM ENGLISH HISTORY by Robert Lacey.

Battle of Bosworth between Richard III and Henry Tudor ( later Henry VII) 1485.

Henry Tudor had been counting on support of Thomas, Lord Stanley. Richard III had seized
Stanley’s son and held him hostage

Richard clad himself in kingly armour, setting the gold circlet of the crown over his helmet. “This
day I will die as a king, or win”’

Richard’s cavalary charged, but was repelled by French pikemen. The king was unhorsed. Sir
William Stanley moved his troops across, overpowering the King. Richard fought very bravely,
refusing an offer of a horse, to enable him to flee. He fought to the last and the circlet of gold
rolled off his helmet. SIR WILLIAM STANLEY picked it up and placed it on Henry Tudor’s head.
“Sir, here I make you King of England”.

FROM ‘IRISH PEDIGREES’ BY JOHN O’HART

BALDWIN of MT.PLEASANT, KINALMEAKY, COUNTY CORK.

Two different origins are given for this family by genealogists, namely THOMAS BALBHAN
FITZMAURICE and 2. BAUDWIN or BALDWIN, EARL OF FLANDERS. The former was son to PATRICK,
the 7th Lord of Kerry, and the other was a nobleman attached to the court of CHARLES THE BOLD,
King of FRANCE, who created him EARL of FLANDERS. This BAUDWIN married Judith, daughter of
Charles the Bold and Granddaughter of Charlemagne, widow of Ethelwolfe. King of England and
Stepmother f King Alfred the Great.

We can trace back to HENRY BALDWIN, a RANGER OF WOODS AND FORESTS in SHROPSHIRE,
who married ELINOR, daughter of SIR EDWARD HERBERT of RED CASTLE, who was second son of
the first LORD PEMBROKE by LADY ANNE, daughter of LORD PARR, of KEDALL and sister of LADY
CATHERINE PARR (or PAER) surviving queen of Henry VIII, King of England. That HENRY BALDWIN
had 3 sons who settled in Ireland in time of Queen Elizabeth, the eldest of whom was Henry
