Hayhurst Report 18 Nov 2009 23:22

I am trying to locate the birth record of Emma Baker born around 1883 (give or take a year - established this from a census). Her father was George and her mother Emma (nee Beale). I'm guessing she was born in surrey or middlesex going by her family's whereabouts at various times.

I have scoured ancestry baptism/birth indexes on many occasions but I am really stumped as there are so many Emma Baker births.

any help would be appreciated. thanks.. Kind regards...

Which census?

Hi Elizabethofseasons,
I saw that record I think, and I dont think it is it but thanks so much for looking. On the 1901 census Emma was shown as 18 years old - her mother had passed away in 1888.

Hi David,
It was the 1901 census

Apart from Emma (unmarried) witnessing her sisters marriage in 1909 - I havent found any records that I can positively match to her for sure, although there are many "Possibles".

Thanks for your efforts Choccy - I have this record... the root of my problem is that I cannot find anything to trace the bakers further back than that marriage record. I was hoping their daughter Emma's birth record might give me a lead, if I could find it (ie, an address that might link me to other members of the Baker or Beale family).
