Me again folks - I have just realised I have asked about Samuel Baker snr being married twice SORRY wrong Baker! The Baker I would like the information on is a RICHARD BAKER born 1790 Not sure if he was born in middlesex or resided there) He became a barrister at law, I have him married to a much younger lady, Louisa or Lucy, and this is why I am wondering if he was previously married. Family rumour has it that these two Baker families are related I am still struggling to find the connection

Samuel White Baker was born on June 8, 1821 in London as the offspring of a wealthy commercial family. His father, Samuel Baker Sr., was a sugar merchant, banker and ship owner from Thorngrove, Worcestershire with mercantile ties in the West Indies (Caribbean). His younger brother, Col. Valentine Baker (1827-1828), known as Baker Pasha, was initially a British hero of the African Cape Colony, the Crimean War, Ceylon and the Balkans, later dishonored by a civilian scandal, who had successfully sought fame in the Ottoman Empire, notably the Russian-Turkish War in the Caucasus and the War of Sudan from Egypt. His other siblings were: James, John, Mary "Min" and Ann Baker.[1]
