Find Ancestors

Hi, I am trying to find relatives of my grand mother - Florence Baker.
She was born in Poplar in December 1886 but lived for some time with her Aunt and Uncle, George and Mary Baker in Hampton Middlesex.
Thanks

Have you got Florence's birth certificate with the names of her parents?
Or do you know who they are, and have you found them all in any census?

Thank-you

Hi

Was 'Baker' her maiden name or her married name?

Hello Yvonne and welcome to the Community Boards.




(I'll let Yvonne know how to find her replies) :-)

Yes , my grandmother was born on the 9th of December and lived for a while with her aunt and uncle George and Mary in Chapel Cottage in Hampton.

I am desperate to know who she married because she had 2 children in Hammersmith - but I don't know anything other than he died when they were very young from bronchial pneumonia and the children have the surname Barclay.
Thanks for your help

Have you looked for possible marriages and births, and where did you get the surname Barclay from?

Thank-you

No connection jumping out with Dorothy Agnes Baker 1867 Scotland and George Henry Baker 1859 Hampton.
