John Baker
Name - "official" name and what they were known as
John Baker Date and place of birth 1775 Yarmouth, Norfolk, England Names of parents John Baker & Priscilla (née Custance) Date and place of baptism - if applicable St Nicholas, Yarmouth 8th March 1775 ARGHHHHH - PROBLEMS IN RESEARCH: The familysearch.org record says that the spouses (John & Harriet) were each aged 22 (so born in 1784 not 1775) BUT John's mmn is Custance - which comes out as a given name to John's grandson - http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...custance+baker I'm all befuddled now... Details of each of his or her marriages - if any 17th December 1806 to Harriet Sales in Holt, Norfolk I'm guessing he probably married again because they had 9 children that I know of, and the youngest was only one year old when Harriet died in 1821. However, he was a widower again by 1851 Occupation(s) - if any Ironmonger Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). 1841 Holt, Norfolk (HO107 776 b31 folio 22 p5) 1851 16 Victoria Street, Lakenham, Norfolk (HO107 1815 folio 139 p27) Date, place and cause of death 1851-61 but not found yet Date and place of burial. his wife, Harriet, was buried in Holt in 1821 Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Memorial inscription - if any This is his son: http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...ighlight=baker

I've found another John Baker Chr 09.10.1784 at St Nicholas, Yarmouth, son of William & Elizabeth.
There is a John Baker, aged 86 (b1775) Yarmouth, living at 16 Victoria Street in Lakenham, with his 50 year old daughter Mary-Ann too, on the 1861 census too, that probably where the confusion has come from... (RG9 1216 folio100 p3)

The Holt PR entry for the marriage in 1806 doesn't give their ages but they married by licence so I guess the age 22 comes from the licence allegation or bond. Witnesses to the marriage were Charles Sales, Margt Baker and Sarah Scott. FamilySearch has Norfolk marriage bonds but I haven't managed to find it in there yet. They seem to be in a bit of a muddle.
