BALDWIN of Apache Junction is likely to be your research subject. My next earliest public record is the 1975 Phoenix metro phone book which includes Apache Junction also. There is no listing for a Shirley VALENTINE or any other derivative of the VALENTINE surname as a Shirley or "S.". There were also no Shirley RICHARDS listed in the '75 directory nor is there a Arthur Henry BALDWIN Sr. In my CD phone books, I found the following entries. First there was no entry for Arthur Henry BALDWIN Sr. or any derivative thereof for 1995, 1996 and 1998 published CD's. These CD's usually represent information compiled in the year prior. However, I did find some interesting listings for Shirley BALDWIN. First the 1998 Edition finds a Shirley BALDWIN residing at Bullhead City (?county?), Arizona (AZ), phone 520-763-7771. In the 1995 Edition there is also a Shirley BALDWIN residing at West Ray Road, Chandler (town just south of Mesa and Apache Junction) at 602-963-4887. The area code 602 is now Phoenix only, so Chandler would probably be 480 instead. This may not be your Shirley BALDWIN as you indicated she and Arthur Henry BALDWIN Sr. did not marry until 1997. Then in the 1996 Edition there is a S. BALDWIN residing at 1429 West Ray Road, Chandler, phone 602-963-4887. This S. BALDWIN appears to be the same as Shirley BALDWIN as they share the same phone number and street. There is no Shirley BALDWIN in Chandler in 1998. I know of a few other remaining resources I'll check for you and then I'll leave a posting. Glen F. Pritchett, USGENWEB volunteer
