G Grandparents names please?
« on: Saturday 25 July 09 16:24 UTC (UK) »
I am looking for the parents of my husband's grandad, his name is Samuel Baker and as far as I can be sure, according to freebmd, he was born in Dec 1894 and was registered in Pontefract.  I have tried looking on Ancestry.com but cannot find him.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I know he married his 1st wife in 1920 and his second in 1930.

There are two Samuel Bakers registered in the Pontefract district within a year of each other, the other being 2nd Q, 1893.

There is definitely a family in the 1901 census with a Samuel born approx. 1893, living in Pontefract, parents William and Clara, but to be sure that this is your family then you will need the details from one of his marriage certificates to ascertain what his father's name and occupation was.

Many thanks for yr prompt reply.  I don't think the 1893 Samuel Baker is my one, this one died in the first world war.  I have been thinking of sending for his first marriage cert.  Does anyone know the address of the Pontefract Register Office. Many thanks.
