Rebecca Baker b.1775, Lichfield

[Descartes46]

I'm trying to find some information (any!) on my ancestor Rebecca Baker, who was born in Lichfield c.1775. Her parents were John Baker (1748-1822) and Ann Baker nee Woodfield (1750-1828). I wasn't able to find much or track down her movements through the records. I was wondering if the pros here may be able to assist? Many thanks in advance. D

Ohhh. Thanks Willow. That will explain why she isn't in the census records later on then. Dying at 14. That's quite tragic.

They don't normally class 14 year olds as infants  .

ADDED
NBI has her as born c1789

Thanks Rosie it didn't give an indication of the birth year on the parish record just said 'an infant'

Just chased a Rebecca Baker who married a Samuel Gutteridge in Sedgley but that didnt pan out

I think that the NBI entry is just speculating as it says infant.  Never trust a transcript

The parish register image, available on FindMyPast, does state that the burial on 11 July 1789 is for

Rebecca Baker an infant.

It could be a case that she didnt marry but lived with someone under their name in which case we have little chance of finding her

There is a burial in St Chads in Dec 1775 for a Baker, no first name or age
