May I trouble you knowledgeable people for help with one last family member. This should probably go in the brickwall section with my terrible genealogical skills, but I'm hoping somebody can help. I have an ancestor Robert BAKER (b.1808). He is the second born of Thomas BAKER (1776-1834) from Lichf...

Thanks guys! That's been enormously helpful and explains why he disappeared and didn't follow the conventional path.

Kind regards,

Thank you so much for the information guys! It explains why I couldnt find a marriage for him or children. He was living with his sister and her family. I don't know how you managed to find those records, but I need to work on my geneological skills as I was going around in circles all day on Ancest...

Dear forum, Is there anybody with a knowledge of the Midlands who maybe able to find a good match for my ancestor William Baker on the census records? It seems both William and Baker were very popular names during this period, and I can't determine the correct 'William Baker' after the 1891 census B...

I'm trying to trace the history of Samuel Baker (b. 1898) through the records, but I can't find anything that can pin point this Samuel Baker. His grandfather was Benjamin Baker (1824-1875), and his father was Arthur Baker (b.1854). I'm looking for the following information: whether he got married, ...

After obtaining 5 different birth certificates to get a positive ID on a mother's maiden name: Nott, Knott, Knox, etc, I finally turned to wedding certificates looking for a match. Which proved more fruitful. I finally found the marriage certificate for my 4-great grandfather Joseph Baker and Ann Kn...

There is an Arthur Baker who was born about 1875 married an Ada. I wonder if that could be him? He is a complete mystery to our family so I'd gladly order any 'likely' marriage certificates to try and gleam some more information! Shame that both Arthur and Baker were such common names during that t...

Oh! Thanks for looking Jimmy. Did he die or is he just being elusive I wonder? No sign of him on the 1901 census?

Jimmy wrote:Was the father Joseph a police officer.

Hi Jimmy, Yes indeed He was Joseph Abel Baker (1848-1923).

Jimmy wrote:Do you have them in 1881, 1891 census.

Hi Jimmy,

I don't have the 1891 census stats yet - but I was just hoping to find him a little later in life!

Thanks,
Darren
