I know that my brother is Maurice A Baker and my sister is Lorraine D Baker

Wow that looks promising

All easily found here Martin.......

www.freebmd.org.uk/

A free site we all use to search for births, deaths and marriages.

Hold on!!!!!

Martin if these are your brother and sister why are their names BAKER if this is your MUMS maiden name ?

Did Doris Emily marry?

OK i found it

She has children by three different fathers, all took her name of Baker, none of the fathers were registered on any of the certificates. My father was an American GI.

What came of your phone call??

did she have or live with anyone in her later life?

It seems Laurie married a "Holden"

I am not seeing any obvious births for the couple though.

No news from the phone call I am afraid. We think the older brother Richard might be correct - he lived at a place called 'Rose Cottage' on Dunmow Road (as far as i recall)

I cant find the records on freebmd - i must be doing it wrong

You should find freebmd very easy to use.
