That's the one! Thanks very much. Knew of brother Robert but not dates. They were all born Yorkshire and I could not confirm a link to broking in London - but there you go. Maybe he returned to York when he retired or maybe his wife died as she is not on that census. Alas I have no definate baptismal record for Fanny that would confirm her mother's first name - although suspect if was Catherine.
Onward..... Once again, sincere appreciation of all the help.

The only Fanny baker I can find is Fanny born 1824 York she is a pupil along with her sisters,when cross checking this I find there is a tree on Ancestry with the same Fanny,she is the daughter of George Baker born Sherburn in Elmet 1793 brother to thomas 1789.

Do you have her marriage certificate and does it have witness names and her dads name and occupation.

No sign of Thomas Baker on 1841 census do you have him then.

George baker 1793 was in 1861 a former stock broker the same occupation as thomas fenn.

Fanny Baker was married to Thomas Fenn in York in 1846, aged 23.. Her father was Thomas, an experimental chemist. I cannot find a definate reference to her baptism there is one 9/5/19 in York with parents Thomas and Catherine - probably too early. Thomas Baker born 1789 in Sherburn in Elmet, Yorkshire but I cannot find a marriage cert so cannot trace wife's name. Any help appreciated.
