Mary Elizabeth Baker

[sarabeth]

I am seeking information regarding the family of my great grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Baker Wilkinson.  Mary Elizabeth Baker was born on April 28, 1874 to James Baker and Charlotte Forrester.  Mary married George Wilkinson on September 7, 1903.  They lived in Wicklow Town. Her address at the time of her marriage was 3 Mt Norris Villas, Bray.  Anyone out there with any knowledge about the Baker and/or Forrester families?

IGI also lists Mary Jane Baker born 20 Nov.1872 Co. Dublin to James Baker & Charlotte Forrester. Perhaps the family lived in Co. Dublin earlier?
