Hi I have on a 41 census A William Baker married to a Jane ?- at the time living holborn middlx trying to find if it is Jane Langford as found a Marriage between them about the right time..On census states Jane birth place Cambridgeshire..They had a son in 1844 and children before then.
However on another census still living in London but states birth place as Blackwater Hampshire..
Could I have the wrong Jane all together? maybe.. If anyone can shed some light on this scenario would be much appreciated as Can't find A Jane Langford on her own or with her family anywhere..
I think you need to complete the census details and you will answer your own question!
Doesn't matter whose site you look at the census image on, unless you are looking at the index when errors creep in.
In 1851 Liberty of The Rolls, St Clement Danes William Baker head marr 53 Collector steam boat co b Clerkenwell Jane Baker wife 44 b Hampshire Blackwater (I can understand how it might have been transcribed as Cambridgeshire) William Baker son 17 app carpenter b Holborn Mary Ann Baker dau 23 fancy stationer b Holborn Jane Eliza Baker dau 21 fancy stationer b Holborn Elizabeth Sarah Baker dau 19 fancy stationer b Holborn George Charles Baker son 13 scholar b Westminster Alice Martha Baker dau 7 b City Helen Baker dau 3 b City
The 1841 family you mention William Baker 35 tobacconist Jane Baker 25? Mary Baker 3 Janie Baker 1 All born in Middlesex
In 1851 119 Fetter Lane, St Dunstan in the West, London William Baker head marr 43 Money taker to steam boats b Clerkenwell Jane Baker wife 33 b Hampshire Louisa Baker dau 14 b St Clements Mary Ann Baker dau 13 b St Clements Jane Baker dau 11 b St Andrews Holborn William Baker son 7 b St Andrews Holborn George Baker son 3 b St Andrews Holborn
1841 looks as though it's the same family. But the presence of Louisa age 14 in 1851 complicates matters as it makes a Dec 1838 marriage in Richmond Surrey more unlikely. But we can speculate until the cows come home. It will take the birth cert of one of the children to prove it one way or the other.
Births/baptisms of most of the children are on the IGI

Can you order birth cert from IGI? if so how? Will still only give the Fathers name though surely? I have only ever sent for certs on camdex before, but that only covers Cambridge..Very new to this.. Thanks for all your help thus far though..
