This is now getting more complex, as there are obviously 2 Benjamin Bakers from South Weald of similar ages.
At least one is still going strong in 1851 (HO107 1770 488 5) in Harlow
62 yr old Benjamin Bacon bn Weald Essex
BUT this one is an Ag LAb with a14 yr old son bn Harlow with him
So does not look like the one who is William's dad.
cancel all that - senior moment
my mind went on to Baker instead of Bacon! (the other bit of a bacon butty)
