I am looking for the BAKER family,
there do appear to be lots of Bakers out there but the ones I am interested in are....William Baker, origins unknown, married Maria. William I think was a bargeman. He had three children ( I think) William born 26.7.1829 Rochford, John Joseph baptised 30.11.1834 Rochford and Samuel Offord baptised 26.2.1832. also Rochford.
William Jnr. was a Millwright, unmarried as far as I know,
John Joseph was a mariner, he married Elizabeth Ann CLARK and they had seven children:
Fanny Maria b.1858 who married Walter James YOUNG a wheelwright
Maria Elizabeth b.1859 who married William PAYNE a carpenter and builder
Hannah Sarah b. 1862 who married John BUSS who was a cook
John Hoseph b. 1864 who married Florence Jane PENWARDEN he became a coastguard
Dinah Emily b. 1866 who married John George Matthew IND Dinah died after the birth of her second child.
Offord Ernest b. 1868 who married ? he served an apprenticeship with the watermen and lightermen and is believed to have gone into the merchant navy
Elizabeth Ann b. 1870 who married John TAYLOR who was a steward on a steamship.
If anyone has any connection to the above I would be delighted to hear from them.
