Title: Edward William BAKER
Post by: cjs88 on Sunday 20 March 11 07:31 GMT (UK)

Edward William Baker came to NSW in 1834 at 6 years old and dies on 27 June 1911 Birriwa, Wyaldra Shire,NSW. He married Catherine " Kitty" Harwood on 14/9/1850 and she died 1916 Gulgong,NSW.
Their children from his death certificate in 1911 were:

I am looking for relatives and or information on this Baker and Harwood line?

Hi there,

Re BAKER in the Mudgee Cassilis district c 1870, from the 1870 NSW Electoral Roll for the electorate of MUDGEE there were several families with that surname :

Alfred, a freeholder at Stony Creek
Andrew, a freeholder at Stony Creek
Edward, residence at  Warratree
George, residence at Stony Creek
William, residence at Reedy Creek
William, residence at Apple-tree Flat
William, residence at Apple-tree Flat.

Stony Creek is about 20 kms north-east of Mudgee on the Wollar Road.  I have checked with my family members from Cassilis, none have heard of Warratree, sorry.  Apple-tree Flat is about 15 kms south-east of Mudgee on the Castlereagh Road. 

Re HARWOOD, from same 1870 Roll.
John, leaseholder at Warratree
James, residence at Warratree.

Mudgee has active Family History society, here is the link http://www.mudgeemuseum.com/?i=312/the-society

Cheers,  JM
