Thank you I have looked at my Messages and thank you for the info on John's military record also the 1939 register I thought his father had died as his mother was next of kin when he joined up?
I fell better now putting all this on my tree

Thank you for your time in helping me

1939 was not a census. It was a register

And to find a War casualty, the CWGC site is FREE

ErikaH posted his birth reg as found on Freebmd (17:56) It shows that his middle name was Overend.

The following is a different format from GRO which also gives mothers maiden name

BAKER, JOHN OVEREND mmn HORNBY
GRO Reference: 1901 M Quarter in YORK Volume 09D Page 18

There’s an Isabel HORNBY listed with them on the 1901 census (see EricaH’s post @ 1800)

Thank you for that It does look as though it's him in 1939 just wish his full name was on the marriage and the census

His birth dates seem to change I have this census 1901 aged 3 months 1901
so that puts his birth 1901 or Dec 1900

The registration of birth March 1901 I suppose if he was born Dec 1900 but not registered until Jan 1901?

I have seen the 1939 census and it matches with a marriage 1926 in Selby Yorkshire but with it only having John O Baker does the O stand for Overend or Oscar?

I don't know if he survived the war that's why I thought it would be a good place to start but each one I go on you have to join
