Percival William Baldock was born at Lenham in 1907, the son of Charles William Baldock (a Domestic Groom) and Annie Gambrill.
The death in 1918 of a 30 yr old Charles William Baldock is recorded on the Lenham War Memorial. His wife's name is given as Annie and his birth place is given as Otterden near Lenham, although I'm not sure whether this is the same Charles William.
If anyone knows anything about Percival's parents I would be grateful for information about them.
:)

Have you found them on the 1901 census ?
-
no - i don't have access to that.

There's a Charles William Baldock on the CWGC site.
Husband of Annie Baldock of 18 Chilton Avenue, Sittingbourne.
He was a Private in the Royal Munster Fusiliers & died 22/03/1918 age 38

Newfster - this is exactly the sort of info I was hoping for - anything else that can be found will be much appreciated.
Bettyofkent - the transcription that I had from the war memorial showed Charles William to be aged 30 in 1918 but if this was a mistake and he was actually aged 38 then it would seem very likely that he is Percival's father.

The CWGC has the right name for his wife, & she's living in the right area, could just be coincidence, but I don't think so.
Here's young Percival's Baptism in Lenham:
15th April 1907 Percival William son of Charles William & Annie Baldock.
Under Notes it says: Old Shelve, Lenham. (Groom)
They had two other children baptised.

Marriages Jun 1904
Baldock Charles William Hollingbourne Vol 2a Page 1711 to Gambrill Annie

If Annie was a Spinster, theres about 6 candidates on the 1901 census ....
in Dover, Margate, Folkestone, Whitstable, Monks Horton ..... none seem that close to Lenham area ?
-
Unfortunately I have no idea where Annie came from, so I guess I will need to locate the marriage cert. to find out which is the correct option.
It would be interesting to find Charles William's grandparents, if that is possible?
:)
-
This is most likely William snrs marriage - to a Mary Ann, but note the surnames ..
Marriages Dec 1874
Baldock Mary Ann
Baldock William Faversham Vol 2a Page 1345

It would be interesting to find Charles William's grandparents, if that is possible?
