Title: William john BAKER marriage
Post by: Helen83 on Monday 24 November 08 21:21 GMT (UK)

i am trying to find, without much hope, the marraige of John William Baker.
According to the 1861 census he was born 1860 in Winkley/ Winkleigh in Devon. I think he married a Joanna who was from Ireland. Williams son was also William John who was born 1888 who was born in Faversham kent.

thanks for looking
Helen ;D

Ill have to have to look into that... not seen grace a before, the children i had found were in the area. It is a relativley new generation ive found and my ancestry sub has run out.

Thank you for that lead

Hi

Here are the full 1891 details

William J Baker 31 b Winkleigh Devon  occ coastguard
Joanna 31 b Ireland
Grace A 7 b Ireland
William J 3 b Faversham

The only other possibility is that Grace was Joanna's daughter born before they married
