Find Ancestors

Having no family left to ask questions of I am trying to find Great grandparents and family members of Mary Ann Baker she was 27 in the 1911 census and married for 6 years to Edwin Thomas Coster both born in London Mile End. I would like to go back in her history. I have found a family of Bakers that could tie up but the place of birth is Plaistow. I just cannot find the Mile End connection. I would appreciate any help, thanks Sue

Too many Mary Bakers to know which is her on 1891 census.
You need the marriage cert for more details..Her fathers occupation is needed.

Many thanks to all helpers for the information on my research into my family of Mary Ann Baker. The census shown in 1911 is the correct one

There is another family living at the same address Hornblowers which are the relatives of the Coster family, my father Mary Anns son Edwin Thomas 2 in the 1911 census, always referred to them as Aunts and Uncles but I would like to find out by what family member they are connected. There is a step-son Ted Baker so I think there might be a connection on Mary Ann's side and wondered if Mary Ann Hornblower could be her sister.

Regards

could you please post details of Hornblower family?
