William Baldwin

From Graces Guide

William Baldwin (1817–1863)

Son of George Pearce Baldwin

1840 After George Pearce Baldwin's death, Enoch Baldwin went into partnership with his two eldest nephews, Pearce and William, dealing in tinplate.

1848 The brothers' partnership was formed as E. P. and W. Baldwin[1].

1863 William H. Baldwin died; he had been senior partner in Baldwin, Son and Co and Baldwin Brothers of Stourport, and E. P. and W. Baldwin of Wilden and Wolverhampton[2] and was the last surviving founder of E. P. and W. Baldwin. Following this, the family business split[3]; E. P. and W. Baldwin passed into the control of Alfred Baldwin and his two surviving brothers, George (1826–1881) and Stanley (1828–1907).[4].
