Just looked at it, and it does look as if it the same, can't be two the same name in the family can there?

doubt it - couldnt see a Birth Regn either - prob Enumerators error, copying out the schedules by candlelight and got mixed up.

Have you found any of them 1881 onward ?  ::)

I couldnt see Henry pre-1871 either   ???

If the 1-month old 'Mercy' was indeed born in Woolwich, the family must have only just arrived in Tonbridge / Tunbridge area ....

I couldnt see any deaths 1871-1881 either, nor remarriages which might have changed the kids surnames ....

didnt look in 1901 tho, as assumed any survivors would have married by then ...

I can't find anything on them before that census or after, until Charlotte baker comes into the picture, she married Alma Thomas Goldsmith who was a Hawker at one time. they married 1883 march 12th.
