Elijah Baker http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/family-tree/bcconnections/244853/60450/Elijah-Baker-Family

BCC shows him as the son of Priscilla Knowles but the baptism details I have for him are that his mother was Priscilla Baker:
ST. MARY"™S CHURCH, OLDSWINFORD
20-10-1805 Elijah son of Priscilla Baker, Base

In 1841, Elijah's son Simri is living with his parents in law, Samuel & Hannah Forrest. Elijah's daughter, Maria, is living with Elijah's mother, Priscilla (Ezekiel is Priscilla's son and Uria is her grandson by another son, Zachariah).

Ann Baker nee Forrest died on 28-06-1847 at Waste Bank, Wollescote, aged 41 years. Cause of death was Rupture of the spleen, Occasioned by a blow. Elijah was tried for her manslaughter but acquitted. Ann is buried at St. Mary's Church, Oldswinford:
04-07-1847 Ann Baker, Careless Green, 44, Inquest

Priscilla Baker died on 25-03-1852 at Baldens Green, Wollescote, aged 81 years and is buried at St. Mary's Church, Oldswinford:
29-03-1852 Priscilla Baker, Baldwin"™s Green, 81

BCC has a possible death for Elijah at Kingswinford in 1852. However, I have a death certificate for an Elijah Baker died on 06-06-1881 at Waste Bank, Wollescote, aged 77 years. He was a Sheet Iron Roller, and died of Accidental Death by falling down stairs. He is buried at St. Mary's Church, Oldswinford:
16-05-1881 Elijah Baker, The Lye, 77

This death fits with Elijah's approximate age from his baptism and his occupation but I can't find him in the censuses after 1841 - am going to post on the Brick Wall.
