I was hoping to find Benjamin Baker in the 1841 census, however I think he was from Suffolk, he sometimes changes that though.
But in the 1851 census he is with his wife and 2 Cambridge children so presumably these are from either his wives first marriage or they are her illegitmate children.

Thanks Dee

That gives me loads of information to work with for now

Hi Colin,

That's a pleasure. You're now back to pre registration times....... so the best bet now is to look on Family search. It's a free site and has lots of parish records on there, just be wary of some of the submitted lots.

Also if you google Ramsey Huntingdonshire there are some very good sites for you to trawl around.

All the best in your search,
