Title: Joseph Baker
Post by: Twid on Sunday 08 March 09 16:42 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone I am trying to find any information on Joseph Baker He was born in 1776 possibly in Wolverhampton, married a Hannah, and moved to Kings Sutton which I think was then in Northamptonshire.They had Susannah b1816 Robert b 1817 in Kings Sutton. Northamptonshire record office were unable to help,and I know nothing about him except that he was my 3xg grandfather I am clutching at straws. Twid

Hi Twid.

Welcome to Rootschat.  :)

I am not sure if these are other children of Joseph and Hannah.

In Newbottle which is only a stone's throw from Kings Sutton there
are these 2 baptisms to a Joseph and Hannah Baker.

Ann, 04 May 1806 and Susanna, 29 Sep 1811.

Also if this is Robert's marriage at Newbottle then maybe a look
at the Witnesses may show a link.

I have looked on the pilot site and FamilySearch for any Hannah Thurland marriages and none seem to have married a Joseph Baker. When did Joseph and Hannah die, do you know?

Hi Sandy, Hannah died in 1828 age 48y, and Joseph died in 1845 age 74y I believe.
