Harriet Baker d c 1849 - burial possibly 7th Sept 1849 at St Giles Church Willenhall.
We are struggling to find her death certificate but know her husband and baby both died from Cholera during the outbreak. The family is also mentioned in church notes as being victims. Thank you in advance x

Harriet Baker
Death Age 42
Burial Date 26 Jun 1849
Burial Place Stoke on Trent, St Peter ad Vincula,

Willenhall came under the Wolverhampton RD for that period but can't see a death in that RD on freebmd
-
Sorry Harriet (Starkey) Baker b 1813 in Willenhall x
-
Who was her husband? When did he die?
-
Her husband was George Baker b 1810 in Willenhall he died in 1849 of cholera in 1849 in Willenhall and their son Eli b 1848 also died in 1849. Their other children were spread among family except my 4 x great grandmother who disappeared a while before popping up at 14 to marry on her mc it states she is full age x
-
Was that their daughter Louisa? Looks like only their son Alfred & dtr Louisa survived.
Did you know they had a daughter Zillah born & died 1841 before the census
-
Yes Louisa was my direct ancestor. Her brothers Alfred and Josiah seemed to be apprentice with family. No idea what happened to brother George but Selena, Winifred and Zillah died as babies. We don't know wher2 Louisa went after her parents and Eli passed away x
-
Are you referring to the George Baker aged 5 b Penkridge who is with Baker grandparents in 1851. In 1861 there is a George Baker b Cannock who is an apprentice.
I don't think either are the same George Baker b 1846 mmn Starkey - Wolverhampton RD. Neither Penkridge or Cannock are in that RD
-
GGeorge Baker b 1810 m Harriet Starkey b 1814 and they married in 1831 in Wolves. Thank you do much for helping me x
-
In reply 9 you refer to "their brother George"
George was born 1846 but the only George Baker fitting his birthyear was b Penkridge or Cannock on later censuses
-
If it is willenhall then look up willenhallhistory.co.uk/society/wood street, There was a piece about wood street cemetery which opened to burials in 1849 when there was a lot of cholera victims.Bought by the methodists later, union street used previously,There was an area known as doctors piece,Think there was a memorial to cholera victims in wood street or one of the cems,I remember someone from willenhall telling me.
