Thank you, Sandra. I am delighted to have all these details of the Bakers in Montreal - Ernest Baker, his wife Catherine (Kate), daughter Evelyn Joyce Baker (a younger daughter, Gladys, born 1902, sadly died in Chelmsford in 1915), his grandchildren (Joan, Francis, Raymond, Edward, Gregory), and 14 great-grandchildren according to an obituary. Evelyn appears to have entered Canada twice (1922 and 1924). She was a nurse; she married Samuel Morris Green in 1927 in York Toronto, and died in City of Two Mountains, Quebec, in 1975. Ernest was one of 11 children born to Alfred and Mary Ann Baker of Chelmsford, Essex, England between the years 1862 and 1884. It is interesting to note that, on arrival in Montreal in 1922, Ernest initially went to stay with his older brother, Alfred John and family, in Dorlet Street, St Denis Boulevard, Montreal. In 1921 the family residing here consisted of AJB, Ada Elizabeth Fincham, and six children (Russell, Beatrice, Florence, Idah, Stanley and Clarence). There are photographs of Alfred John, Ernest and Kate, and Evelyn and Gladys. I am hoping to locate further photographs of the extended Baker family in Montreal, and to trace the whereabouts of Alfred and Ada's children and grandchildren. Details of AJB's arrival in Montreal (1902) are yet to be confirmed. He was the first of a number of Chelmsford Bakers to cross the pond in the early 1900s.
