  	MINISTER'S SUDDEN DEATH AT ILFORD The Rev. Thomas Baldwin, pastor of the Baptist Church at Hampstead, passed away on Tuesday at no.2 Bengal Road, Ilford Lane, the residence of his son, Mr. Frederick Baldwin, who is the well known Manager of the British Shoe Co, 141 High Road. The deceased gentlemen (sic), who was 69 years of age, came with Mrs Baldwin last Thursday on a visit to their son. He was apparently in excellent health. On getting out of bed next morning he was taken with a stroke, and became unconcious. Dr Wilfred Steen was summoned, and everything possible was done for the patient, but he never recovered consciousness, and the end came peacefully at 9.15 on Tuesday morning. Pastor Baldwin was well known and esteemed among the Churches at Ilford and Forest Gate. He was a fine man physically, and enjoyed robust health. The sad event caused a great shock to Mrs Baldwin, who has been for years in precarious health, suffering from heart disease and bronchitis. There are 10 grown up children, all living, and they were able to visit the death-bed, several being present to the last. The remains were conveyed on Wednesday to deceased's (sic) home at Hanwell, where the funeral takes place next Monday. The removal and interment are being carried out by Mr Hawes, Ilford Lane.

• Notes

  1858 - Attended Thornhill College, Pentonville; thereafter articled to a builder for clerical work, but ended up working as a manual labourer, including at Aldershot Barracks. 1863 - Journeyman house decorator 1870 - Began preaching at the Mizpah Chapel, Peckham 1881 - Builder and Baptist minister 1891 - Became Pastor at the Zion Baptist Chapel, Norbiton (Kingston, Surrey) until 1893 1894 - Preached first sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Hampstead, London 1903 - Became Pastor there on January 1st 1903 1901 - Baptist minister occasionally working at the building trade Personal recollection of his granddaughter (Vi Bicknell): "He became an Ebenezer Baptist Minister having fallen down the stairs after a heavy drinking session and seen the light." His biography confirms this to be true, in 1866, with the addition that he took the bedroom door with him when he fell.
