Christening of Edwin Baker in the IGI on 22 September 1833 in Frensham, Surrey, parents Edward and Esther Baker.
In the 1841 census as Edwin Baker, aged 7, born in Surrey and living with Edward and Esther (parents?), Alfred (brother? and Elizabeth (sister?) in Lower Churt (next property is in Cross Water), Farnham, Surrey.
In the 1851 census as Edwin Baker aged 18, born in Frensham, unmarried, employed as a footman, and living with Nestor J Fuller (aged 46, born in London, landed proprietor and Justice of the Peace), his wife (MA aged 50 and born in Yorkshire), and five other servants (Narome Curtis aged 17 and employed as a kitchen maid, Jane Franks aged 19, born in Witley, and employed as a house servant, Sarah Price aged 47, born in Romsey, Hamshire and employed as house keeper, Anne Shepard aged 16, born in Guildford and employed as a housemaid, and William Swann aged 30, born in Bookham and employed as butler) at Frensham Hall, Frensham, Surrey.
I cannot find an entry for his marriage.
In the 1861 census as Edwin Baker aged 28, born in Farnham, Surrey, employed in a coffee house, and living with his wife (Charlotte), son (Edmund) and daughter (Matilda), two lodgers (Ellen Chandler aged 15, born in Farnham and employed as a servant and George Perry aged 26, born in Newley, Berkshire, unmarried and employed as a cabinman) and a visitor (William Searle aged 21, unmarried, born in Wokingham, Berkshire and employed as a carpenter) at 32 Oakley Street, Lambeth (near Waterloo Road).
In the 1871 census as Edwin Baker aged 38 born in Trentham (sic - in the index, Frensham on the original), employed as waiter and living with his wife (Charlotte aged 42 born in Cantebury, Kent), and two sons (Edward and William) and four daughters (Elizabeth, Esther, Jessie, and Sarah) at 15 Andersons Walk, Lambeth, London which was shared with another family Alfred Gibbins (aged 44), his sister Sarah Gibbins (aged 50) and his son Alfred (aged 18) all from Ireland. I cannot find Anderson Walk, but it was just to the east of the Albert Embankment.
In the 1881 census as Edwin Baker aged 45, born in Frensham, employed as a waiter at an inn, and living with his wife (Charlotte aged 50, born in Blean, Kent 2 miles NW of Cantebury), their daughter (Esther) and two sons (William and Frank) at 14 Andersons Walk, Lambeth which was shared with Edward Cox, his wife Emily, two sons Henry and William Patterson (given as Gates in Ancestry index, Gateson (Baker) in Familysearch index and looks like Pateson on the original census which also states from the first husband - Henry was aged 15 and born in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, and William was 1 and born in Lambeth), and a lodger (Elizabeth Landworn aged 71, born in Lambeth, widowed, and employed as a Laundress).
In the 1891 census as Edwin Baker census aged 56, born in Frensham, aged 56, born in Frensham, employed as a waiter at an inn, and living with his wife (Charlotte), two sons (Edward and William) and a boarder (Edward Cox aged 4 and born in Holborn - any relationship to Edward Cox in the 1881 census?) at 46 Thrush Street, Newington, London. This is marked as a path due south of the Elephant and Castle between Penton Place and Crampton Street.
Entry in FreeBMD for the death of Edwin Baker aged 66 in July-September 1898 in Lambeth District.
In The Bakers of Headley as Edward's second child born on 22 September 1836 (sic), living in Lambeth by the early 1860s, married to Charlotte (surname unknown), with three children (Esther, William and Frank). In 1881 the family were living at 14 Andersons Walk, Lambeth where Edwin was working as a waiter in an inn. There is some confusion regarding his birth date between this entry and the IGI, and the census ages are also inconsistent. If the correct entry has been found for his death he would have been born in 1832. I cannot find an entry in the 1901 census.
Edwin Baker was my great granduncle.
