Find Ancestors

I am looking for a

Henry Joseph Baker born 1883 in wilton wilts.

I am interested in siblings as am trying to establish a connection to Edwin Baker. I have no other info than this.

This all started with a medal for 1860 Taku Fort which was in the China wars ( Have googled it) A friend by the father's name of Baker ( long story) has it, and didn't know where it came from and I have researched the name on the medal and found a connection to Baker.,but now need to tie in as above.
Any help would be appreciated as I can no longer get onto ancestry ( no money for subs)
Thanks for reading this Val

Hi Valerie,
This Edwin Baker I showed you on the other census'........ in 1861 was a railway porter in London so the I don't think it is the one you are looking for !!!

Regards Vera

Thanks Vera But this Edwin must have been born in 1870's as just found marriage in1893 to jane Frankpitt .

Perhaps, they were cousins?

I can't cope with this I will have to rethink.Edwin Baker was a farmer according to his sons birth cert. It's a complicated family setup . Going to have lunch and try to get the little facts I have straight in my head. Not easy at my age lol!!!
Thanks all you lovely people for your kind help. Val

Could Henry's father ? be a brother to Edwin's father (Joseph ?)?

Joan

Val, not to confuse you anymore, but Joseph Baker, the father to Edwin on the previous census was listed as an Agricultural Laborer (farmer).

Joan

Hi Joan , are you still around,Had a rethink. and you could possibly be right. Now can you find them on the 1851 census living together, if its not asking too much.

Many thanks Val
