Notes: According to census records, Ella M. Young was born in November 1874 in New Jersey, probably in Newark, Essex County. She was the second daughter of Charles and Louise Young. In the 1880 USA census, the family was living at 47 Crawford Street, Newark, Essex, New Jersey. Lydia, the oldest daughter was age 9, Ella was age 5, and Walter, her younger brother, was probably age 2. Although the census record is unclear, her father Charles was probably in the jewelry business.

In the 1895 New Jersey State census, right before her marriage, Ella M. was still living with her parents, Charles P. and Louisa Young, in the 3rd Ward of Newark, Essex, New Jersey. Her siblings were Lydia L.S., and WAlter C.

Ella M. Young, 21, married Edward J. Baldwin on 7 Apr 1895 in Newark, Essex, New Jersey. In the 1900 USA census, she and Edward were living at 124 Wright Street, Newark, Essex, New Jersey. This was the home of Ella's parents, Charles and Louise Young, and her younger brother Walter. Edward was a shipping clerk.

Ella and Edward had three children, namely Earl, born in 1901, an unidentified child who died before 1910, and Herold, born in 1908. In the 1905 New Jersey State census, Ella M., 31, and her husband Edward J. Baldwin, 33, were living at 130 Sherman Ave., Newark. Edward was a clerk for Hositary Engineer, their house was rented. Their son Earl W. was 4 years.

In the 1910 USA census, Ella and James Baldwin, and their two sons were living at 27 Vanderpool Street, Newark. Edward was a bookkeeper for a jewelry factory.

In the 1915 New Jersey State census, Helen [sic], 41, and her husband Edward J. Baldwin, 43, were living at 191 Eagle Rock Ave., West Orange, Essex, New Jersey. They were renting their home, and Edward was a shipping clerk. Their sons were Earl W., 14, and Herold, 7.

In the 1920 USA census, Ella and Edward Baldwin and the family was still on Eagle Rock Avenue in West Orange, Essex, New Jersey. Edward was an assembler for a phonograph maker. It is possible that this was for Thomas J. Edison, as his son Earl at one time was an office boy for Edison.
