Some one with our man in his tree.

The owner of the tree is in Canada!    But their page was last updated November 11, 2008   

Has anyone tried to contacting him yet?

Hmmm - but little info.
I guess many of us have already looked at the censuses.

And for the marriage he just says "England"   

Whereas I would have thought given the whereabouts in the censuses that it was Wales - and may even be this one :

Oct/Nov/Dec 1871 Bedwelty Monmouth
Edwin Baker / one of brides Grace Baskerville

(Need to check out 1881 plus ages again to see if this is probable)

(Added: - yes , in 1881 they are married with Thomas 8, Mary Elizabeth 4 and Arthur 1.  So it didnt take much to find the marriage)


I wonder what his link to them is?

UPDATED RECAP:
PHOTO
We don't know what is on the Tankard as we still don't have a high res photo of it
We think it is the same bear who has had most bits repaired over the years.
 

I wonder why Glyn has the tankard. I would have thought a toy unless the tankard had some meaning to their father?

Could also have also just been a prop to balance the photo?

Even though Ive followed the thread from the start I still keep getting lost 

Me also!

Ah - the Canadian guy with the tree is descended from Edwin's brother  John.  (See his homeage)

So John is Nicholas James's uncle.

Connection to Dora, and Nicholas Glyn' possible descendents therefore quite remote.

[dawnsh]

might be remote but worth following through. A lot of families know about an uncle who died in WW1.

Other uncles include Edwin Baskerville Baker. Edwin married Annie Protheroe in 1906 and had a son Ivor who acted as an executor when Edwin died Plymouth 1952. Ivor appears to die in Plymouth 1975. Might be worth looking for a marriage and children for Ivor but the surname Baker is so frequently occurring.
