Sophia's maiden name was definitely Goodman and the son she had was Wiliam Goodman Tailor.
The marriage between her and Daniel took place on 19th June 1820. She was born in Hatfield so have you been able to fit her anywhere into your tree.Sadly she's no good to me any longer >:(
Cheers

Thanks for that input Maddie. I can. see that now. Sadly and conclusively he's not mine. Back to the drawing board for that side of the family. Will have to cut out quite a bit of the tree now. It just goes to prove that this geneology process is not easy when your parents have the names Baker and Taylor

Hi Maddie. Have you seen the 1861 census with Sophie and William G? Where it shows Sophie as a widow are you able to decipher the word underneath?

Thanks for the reply. Sophia was born in Hatfield in 1796 and married a Daniel Taylor. They lived in Chelsea having children Sarah Sophie Daniel and William Goodman Taylor. WGT is who I thought was my grt grt grandfather but I'm not so sure now as William G was living as a lodger in College St Chelsea with Sophia in 1861. My William was living in Lower George St Chelsea at the same time so must conclude that they are not the same person and that I dont have a Goodman in the family history. Its a shame cos I'd got quite attached to Sophia and Daniel snr.

The discreprancy may be solved. In 1861 Sophia and William G are living as lodgers in College St(Now Elystan St) Chelsea and he is noted in the census as Sophia's Brother. Sophia and Dan had 2 daughters Sophia and Sarah christened in 1821 and 1824 in St Lukes Chelsea. They then had 2 sons Dan and William again christened in St Lukes in 1826 &29. They were still living in College St then.This William then turns up in 1861 aged 32 with his own family married to Anna. I think Dan snr must have died between 1851 & 1861 and Dan jnr moved away or died also-I've yet to discover which. William then turns up in 1871 with my great grandfather Frederick aged 5 and several other sprogs in tow.
After 1829 and up to 1851 Sophia was living with Dan snr in Leader St.(now Ixworth place) Chelsea.
Coincidentally I grew up in Chelsea in Sutton Trust buildings which is built in a triangle boardered by Cale St ,Elystan St and Ixworth Place. The streets where my grt grt grt grandparents lived

Hertfordshire / Sophia Goodman

Hi
Yes that is the one in Piccadily St James. Sophia was apparently born in Hatfield but lived in Leader St Chelsea with Daniel Taylor her spouse and children Daniel,Sarah,Sophia, William Goodman. Whether Goodman was her maiden name or she married and had a child hence William Goodman Taylor I don't know.
They would be my great great great grandparents.
Do you have her in your tree.

Hi
I have been involved with my Baker/Taylor tree and have found that on thphie 19 June 1820 Daniel Taylor married a Sophia Goodman. One son was named in the 1851 Census as William Goodman Taylor aged 21. Do they appear in your tree anywhere. My address is colbak11athotmail.com

Hi

Checked the 1891 census and Chas Percy is living with his grandparents the Latimers. There is no other Charle P Bakers registration between 1881 and 1884 so either the P is incorrect on the 1891 census or his birth may have been registered in his mother's maiden name.

A possible for Henry in 1881 which would tie in with Charles P's birthplace of 'London E'

RG11 492 folio 24
24 Atley Road Bow
Henry Baker 40 Head Unmarried Warehouseman Hampton
Elisa English 70 Widow Boarder Visitor Housekeeper Gloucestershire
Jane Heslen 12 Visitor London

1861 census - details consistent with the family in Hampton in Arden on the 1841 census. Henry was a servant in Meriden on the 1851 census.

1861 census RG92189 folio 91
Back Lane Hampton in Arden Warwickshire
Ann Baker 56 Head Widow Charwoman Castle Bromwich Warwickshire 
Henry Baker 24 Son Married Warehouseman Hampton Warwickshire
Samuel Baker 21 Son Unmarried Sash vendor Hampton Warwickshire   
William Ludford? 11 Grandson Coventry Warwickshire
Mary 9 Ludford? Granddaughter Coventry Warwickshire
plus 3 lodgers

The early marriage would explain why Henry may not have married the mothers of his children.

HENRY BAKER
Christening:  11 DEC 1836   Hampton In Arden, Warwick
Father:  WILLIAM BAKER
Mother:  ANNE 

No obvious candidates for Henry Baker on the 1871 census. There is a Henry Baker in Bow born circa 1836 no birthplace given, but his circumstances are a bit different and the surname Baker is very common. It might however explain how Henry moved from Hampton in Arden to Bow.


What happened to the children after Henry's death?


Regards

Valda

I dont know how far you have progressed all this but Georgina Hedington is my great grandmother, Her son John George Baker is my grandfather. She registered his birth as Georgina Baker previously Headington but all my investigations show that this should have been spelt Heddington.
You mention Charles as one of the 4 boys he didnt die until 1917 in Flanders.
I hope we can get together here and exchange info to fill in some of the gaps.
By the way did you know that Albert Victor was Mayor of Falmouth and the Horwood should be Norwood Surrey although it is London now.
