"Baker family sought"
Thank you Mark.
I am still hoping that someone may find the correct parents for my Charles Baker who was born 1815. He married Martha Goater in St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, Somerset. Charles was a journeyman carpenter so may have travelled around a bit. The 1851 England Census shows him, Martha and their children living at 17 Castle Lane, Westminster, London.                                                                                                 Re Longburton ... I have not come across that area in connection to Charles Baker or to my ancestor Sarah Goater nee Higgins (mother of Martha Goater).
Kind regards from Marion J Hansen, NZ.

Update:  Martha Goater, married (1) Charles Baker (2) Charles Massey. I have just found an article in the Timaru Herald 2 Aug 1910 (NZ). It is an obituary for Martha's second husband, Charles Massey - he died 1 Aug 1910.  His first wife (Martha) is described as being a widow with 7 children (at the time that he married her). Until now, I have known of only 6 children, these being; Charles who did not emigrate to NZ; John, (a gap where another child may have been born) Louisa, Thomas, Hannah, Charlotte (these 5 emigrated with their parents to NZ). Charlotte was born after the 1851 England Census.   

"... Burial records for East Coker which states that 1829 Jan 25th Baker Charles age 14 of East Coker & the baptism 1815 Mar 26th Baker Charles son of John & Jane."

Reply to Majge,  Firstly, thank you.

You must be correct, because the burial records you were sent are linked to Charles Baker's baptism records.

I was sent my info from rootschat.com  but  my Charles Baker  must be a different person of the same name. Mine must not be the son of John & Jane. A pity for me because the baptism Mar 26 1815 did match the approximate year of birth of my Charles Baker.  The baptism was the only link I had to John Baker & Jane nee Rendall (your ancestors).

The wedding info I was given (for my Charles Baker) via rootschat.com, matched the age my Charles would have been if born 1815:  my Charles Baker married Martha Goater 13 Dec 1835 in St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. Martha Goater was the key for me to find any info on my Charles Baker.  [google Martha Goater to find the info I was sent re Charles Baker via rootschat]

My Charles Baker & wife Martha moved to London where their ages on the 1851 Census (35 yrs & 36 yrs) matched the marriage age of Charles & Martha in 1835 (19 yrs & 20 yrs). Martha was a year older than Charles - she was born 1814.  [re Bould:  Martha's mother, Sarah Goater/Goates nee Higgins, possibly has a link to a Bould family, she was living with them in the 1871 England census].

Guess I have come to a brick wall re my Charles Baker's parents and his baptism. That is OK. He has a common name.

Thank you David, and Maria.

In NZ, the National Library's website Papers Past has articles about a John Goater who was a jockey riding horses for a Count de Lagrange,[circa 1877 and onward] and for Prince Soltykoff [the latter a member of the English Jockey Club]. Also a W Goater who trained horses circa 1900.

Just thought you might be interested.

   Martha Baker nee Goater's second marriage was to Charles Massey, a son of John Massey, hotel keeper, and Mary Ann Adams. Charles was born Hackney, London.

Charles had been a soldier in the Crimean War. He had been in NZ since about 1860.

Martha's brother John Goater married twice. His second wife was an Ann Adams. [source a genealogy website].
