India: Help please with Baker 1880's West Bengal

[chris2705]

From the ones on the IGI there would seem to be two likely candidates:

William Henry Baker b. 06/04/1858 Rangoon to John & ELiza
William Henry Baker b. 22/05/1857 ??           to William & Sarah

Still negotiating with mangement to see when I can get a pass for a day at the British Library....

The geography is just as fun on my mum's side (Germany, Holland, France, Spain, Canada, USA) makes it great for cheap holidays!

looks like she married twice.

[chris2705]

My initial thought is that it looks as if she divorced. I would have said that if she was widowed she would have married with the name "Baker"

Nothing nice and simple

Not with your lot
