Notes par Justice John Baldwin

Family
According to Baker, John Baldwin, born bef. 1470, was a younger son of William Baldwin (died ca. 1479) of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and Agnes Dormer, the dau. of William Dormer of West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.[1] However according to The Visitation of Buckinghamshire and other sources, Agnes Dormer, the dau. of William Dormer (d. 1506) of West Wycombe, was John Baldwin's first wife, not his mother.[2][3][4]
Baldwin is said to have had an elder brother, Richard Baldwin (d. 1484).[1]
Baldwin's uncle, also named John Baldwin (d. 1469), had a legal career in London as a bencher of Gray's Inn and common serjeant of the City. At his death in 1469 his estates in Aylesbury were inherited in turn by Baldwin's father, William, by Baldwin's elder brother, Richard (d. 1484), and in 1484 by Baldwin himself.[1]

Career
Details of John Baldwin's early legal career are sparse. He joined the Inner Temple at some time bef. 1500, and was practicing in the Court of Requests by 1506. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Buckinghamshire in 1510. He gave his first reading at the Inner Temple in 1516, and served as treasurer from 1521-23.[1]
In 1529 Baldwin was returned to Parliament for Hindon, and in 1530 was appointed Attorney General for Wales and the Duchy of Lancaster.[1]
He gave a third reading at the Inner Temple in 1531, and was appointed a Serjeant-at-law and King's Serjeant in the same year. In 1534 he was knighted, which Sir John Spelman considered 'unprecedented' for a serjeant.[1]
Further details of Baldwin's judicial career can be gleaned from the reports of Sir James Dyer, whose opinion of Baldwin was not always complimentary.[1] In Jun 1535 Baldwin was required to pass sentence of treason on the Carthusian priors, as the remaining justices had departed before the verdict was rendered.[1] Then, inn later life Baldwin added to his landed estates. In 1536 he purchased a country home at Little Marlow, and in 1540 the site of the former Greyfriars monastery in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.[1] In 1538 Baldwin was involved, through no fault of his own, in a miscarriage of justice at the assizes at Bury, when a man was convicted of murder on the evidence of his young son, and after his execution it was discovered that the alleged victim was still alive.[1]
Baldwin was a circuit judge in Norfolk unt. 1541, and then served on the home circuit.[1] After the death of Sir Robert Norwich, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on 19 Apr 1535, and served in that capacity until his death.[1]
He died 24 Oct 1545, and was bur. in Aylesbury Church.[1]

Marriages and issue
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 daus., Agnes, Pernell and Alice:[1] However, as noted above, according to other sources, Baldwin's first wife was Agnes Dormer, the dau. 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 md. Mary Tyringham, the dau. of Thomas Tyringham[6] (d. 28 Sep 1526) of Tyringham, Buckinghamshire, by Anne Catesby, dau. of Sir Humphrey Catesby of Whiston, Northamptonshire, but predeceased his father, leaving no issue.[7]
Agnes Baldwin md. Robert Pakington (d. 1536). Their son, Sir Thomas Pakington (died 2 Jun 1571), was one of Baldwin's heirs.[8][9][10]
Pernell Baldwin md. firstly Thomas Ramsey of Hitcham, Buckinghamshire,[11] by whom she had a dau., Elizabeth Ramsey, and secondly Edward Borlase (d. 1544), Citizen and Mercer of London.[12] Their eldest son, John Borlase (ca. 1528 – 6 May 1593), esquire, was one of Baldwin's heirs, and was bequeathed all Baldwin's law books.[1] He md. Anne Lytton, the dau. of Sir Robert Lytton (d. 1550) of Knebworth.[12] After the death of his first wife, Pernell Baldwin, Edward Borlase md. Joan Dormer, the dau. 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.
In 1518 Baldwin md. Anne (née Norris), widow of William Wroughton (d. bef. 1515), and dau. of Sir William Norris (d. 1507) of Yattendon, Berkshire,[1] by his third wife, Anne Horne.[17] She is said to have become insane before Baldwin's death,[1] and in Oct 1545 Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, suggested that she be placed in the care of her son by her first marriage, Sir William Wroughton (d. 4 Sep 1559). Three months later Anne was sent to live with her kinswoman, Mary (née Norris) Carew (d. 1570), widow of Vice-Admiral Sir George Carew (ca. 1504 – 19 Jul 1545), and dau. of Henry Norris (b. bef. 1500, d. 1536) of Bray, Berkshire, and his wife, Mary.[18][19][20][21] The date of Anne's death is not known.
