Thank you, I shall look at that census. It absolutely suggests that is the Martha who is Sarah's mother. Re Eliz Burden: baptized 1817, living Jones Rents. Married 1837, don't have a cert. It is in Pallott's index, for Hackney, to James Wooldridge, no GRO available. 1851-lived at 3 Charles St., Tower Hamlets, with James, a Baker. 1861 - don't have. 1871 - a widow at 47 Old Gravel Lane. Dtr Harriet Cocksedge is there, married to a Baker who is not present. Elizabeth might have died Jul 1879 age 62, St. George in the East. Sarah married 6 Aug 1849, living Victoria Rd. Father Wm a Baker, not mentioned as deceased, at St. Peter, Pimlico, St. George Hanover Square. Witnesses William Walton and Mary Ann Cross, relationships unknown.1851 at 2 Lower Garden Street with her Cross family and her brother Wm Burden (he is widowed). LIved at 2 Maidenhead court 1861, St. George in the East, or Wapping. LIved 2 Church Court, St. George in the East until near the end of 1800's. She and husband Wm Cross moved to clothworkers almshouses in Islington by 1891, where they died. Brother William Frederick Burden born 1820 appears to have been baptized St. Leonard's to William Burden and Sarah, not Martha, in 1833, though Martha might have used both names, no street address (IGA). He married July quarter 1854 as a widower to Sarah Plackett, I think. I do not have that marriage cert. He lived at 40 Old Gravel Lane Oil Shop, blacksmith on 1881, 1891 censuses, 1901 he seems still in vicinity of Old Gravel at Rainers model mansions but says he is an accountant. Sorry for the long note. Thanks for the assistance. Janice
