What searches have you done? Do you know whom he married, who his children were ... ?

Do you know whether he had siblings?

It's worth doing the basic research first, so you can offer that info and people aren't guessing.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

If you find his birth, it will tell you his mother's birth surname.

You can then search for Baker births with that same surname, to identify any siblings he had, i.e. their full names (with middle initial) and years of birth.

Then their marriages (and, likely, deaths) could perhaps be identified.


... For starters, there are so many Cyril Baker births around that time ... but none in 1919 in that location. What is the source of your info? Do you know his middle name?

Cyril R Baker Jan Feb Mar 1918 Colchester
Cyril C Baker Jan Feb Mar 1920 W Ham

?

Any idea of Winifred's maiden name???...it's just that I can't find any Harold Baker marriage to a Winifred that would match any Cyril Baker births in 1919???

PM received from Terence - I found your thread in "My threads" Terence despite the absence of names in your message. ;)

I'll bet everybody else got one too -- do post in the thread here, it saves you and especially us time!


"thanks for your interest Janey
there were 9 siblings and I have posted a family tree.I have had only one positive link but then the trail went cold . I am desperatly seeking living rellies but to no avail. thanks for the tipsI'll take your advice and keep going."


Well ... if you have the names of the siblings, we might be able to help trace their families ...

Do they include the ones Tania listed?

I'm sorry, Terence, and I can't speak for anyone else ... but I just don't know what trail you are following!

"my trail runs cold in 1947 when the adress in chingord no longer had records"

The trail of ... Cyril?


What we're doing is suggesting that if you trace the families of his siblings, you might find a niece or nephew who would know something about him.

You may be thinking we can see your family tree. We can't. (And I don't want to - just one more annoying tab I have to toggle back and forth to.)

All the info that you have that could help should be in this thread. Like ... the names of the 9 siblings that I keep trying to get you to disclose ... and whether you know any of their family members ...
