1. His birth certificate says that he was born 4/3/1849 in Epsom. Note that his mother is clearly recorded as Frances Baker, formerly Agate. See file : www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/BthGB_01.htm for a transcription of the birth certificate.
2. He can be found in his parents household in the 1851 census. See tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen51_004.htm
3. In the 1861 census he is still at home with his mother - who is now a widow. See census tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen61_005.htm
4. I have a copy of his marriage certificate for his marriage to Rebecca Sparshott in 1869. At the time of his marriage they lived at 51 Elm Gore, Brighton and his profession is still that of paperhanger. A transcription of the certificate can be seen at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/MarBS_01.htm
5. The 1871 census shows him living with his wife Rebecca and their first son George. See census tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen71_001.htm
6. The 1881 census shows him living at 43 Wood Street, Brighton with his wife and 5 children. (NB. In the CD version of the census the family surname is given as 'Bruce'. ) See census tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen81_001.htm
7. There are three more children, Alice, Joe and Kit, who have been drawn in a family tree by Mum. I haven't a clue where she got them from.
8. In 1883 he was still at 43 Wood Street, where Margaret was born. Her birth certificate gives his profession as Paperhanger Journeyman.
He was still a paperhanger at the time of Margaret's marriage in 1912.
9. At the time of the 1891 census he is living in Brighton with his wife and 5 children. (But Margaret, who should be aged about 7 is missing ?) See census tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen91_003.htm
10.. In the 1901 census he is living at 20 Gladstone Place with his second wife Eliza and four children - Joseph and Kate from his first marriage, plus George and Frances from his second marriage. He is a self-employed paper hanger. See census transcript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen01_006.htm
11. In the 1911 census George Baker is living with his 2nd wife Eliza Miles. We are told that 4 children were born living, of whom 3 are still alive. Presumambly this must be the family of Eliza Miles. The couple have been married for 17 years and are living at 103 Bear Road, Brighton. See census tramscript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen11_007.htm
12. I have checked the National Probate Index for 1930/31 - no entry found.
1. She was known to David Azzaro as 'Grandmother Baker'. Maiden name was Miles; Christian name unknown.
2. There is a marriage record in the PRO Index of George Baker to Eliza Emma Miles in 2nd Qtr 1895 in Brighton (PRO Ref. Vol 2b, p.486). I am assuming that this is the one. The name Eliza is confirmed by the 1901 census.
3. Mum recorded the names of 3 children of the George's second marriage - George, Dorothy and Ann. George is confirmed by the 1901 census, but this also shows a daughter Frances. Dorothy and Ann do not appear in 1901.
