Sorry to bother you all again but I still cannot find Frances Ann Baker,s birth cert. or find her in census. I got as suggested her marriage cert. She married Fred Wilson on 31st August,1914 at Pontefract Register Office. She was 19 yrs old and Fred was 24yrs old. Her father was John Baker a colliery surface labourer. The address she resided in at time of marriage was 76, Ford,s Row, Whitwood Mere.

I've found a Frances A Baker in the 1901 census, father John - Coal Miner, mother Mary, Children: Mary 12, Pheobe 9, William 5, Frances 3, John 7mths.
Although her marriage certificate says she was 19 she may have been lying or she may have been making an educated guess.
A birth matching these details is registered Jan-Mar 1898 Rotherham, Vol 9c Page 779.

Is this any help?

This is only a possibility if you are thinking she was, perhaps, born in Yorkshire:

Have you looked for Frances Ann in 1911?
I think she is under Francis Baker female 1898. Living Pontefract

I entered Baker Whitwood Mere
These are the only Bakers showing living Pontefract
John Baker 1857.
John 1875
Eliza 1881
John James 1899
Willie 1902
Joseph 1905
Thomas 1909
George 10 months.

However there are other Bakers showing living Pontefract so Im assuming those I gave you are in Whitwood Mere.

You will need to view the census
