How do we do that?
Also, I found an old thread on GenesReunited for someone looking for William Henry Baker (the one born in 1857) "William Baker b 1825 Tipton Staffordshire. Engineer (Royal Navy) although this isn't confirmed. in 1861 it states he's a Engineer Royal Navy, He did sail onboard the Bernese which sunk (written on christening record of son) His son William Henry Baker born in Bombay East Indies on 22nd May 1857 and was christened on 26 March 1859
and...."Cornelius Baker believed to be in the Gurkha regiment born approx 1802.
His son William Baker b 1826 believed to be in the Royal Navy went to the East Indies where his son also named
William Baker was born approx 1858 -
All originally from tipton Stafford"
And another post from the same person....
"His name was William Baker, and the 'son' was William Henry Baker.
I have traced the Baker line back to 1763 all born in England, except for William Henry Baker. I am trying to find out whether this son was his illigitimate child or an 'adopted' child. My gt grandfather was the brother of William Henry Baker, he is also a 'suspect' child. In that his birth was registered in England in 1860, but on 1 census it states he was born 'Sea' which means either at sea or overseas. Plus both of these boys had the features and colouring of Indian origin. As far as I can tell their sister's ancestors were all of English origin.
Their father was back in England by 1871 and remained here for the rest of hs life as did his family.
I understand that some went out their to work and I first thought he had something to do with the Train Company as he was an Engineer, but now I'm not so sure. I was wondering if the family had some family connection to India, hence why he was in the Indian Navy rather than the Royal Navy. "
