I have started doing my mother's side of the tree, she was a BALDOCK and growing up she always told me she had English and French blood in her,
both her parents were born in England and was sorry I didn't find out about more of her family history.
But have managed to go back as far to 1869 when Florence ORMA was born my grandfather was William George BALDOCK and married her.

I don't know who even William George BALDOCK's parents were, as all the records would be in England and haven't a clue were to look.

I do know Florence May Martha ORMA parents were John ORMA but don't have any details and his wife was Esther but no maiden name and I would say they had more children but only have Florence listed

I don't mind doing the research myself but just don't know were to look for overseas records
