Hi - I am also descended from John Baker. Some of my information differs from yours. I have a marriage certificate for Anne Sillman (it could have possibly been Sellman, as one of James' children was called John Sellman Baker?) Anne had previously been married to John Sillman (ie Sillman was her married name. I also have information that John Baker died in India, and was buried there, assumedly from Cholera. James Baker, still an infant (plus his older sister) went to an orphanage when he died (not sure if Anne died at the same time - some Anglo-Indian children were considered "orphans" even though their mothers were still alive. I have more information.
