Birth of Margaret Baker in FreeBMD in April-June 1842 in Farnham (4 136).
Christening of Margaret Baker in the IGI in Frensham, Surrey on 5 June 1842, parents Stephen and Anne Baker.
Entry in Ancestry London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 for Margaret Baker on 3 June 1842 at Frensham St Mary the Virgin, Surrey, parents Stephen and Ann Baker. "Baptisms solemnized in the Parish of Frensham in the County of Surrey in the Year 1842 [...] June ?th No (no number but would be 1202), Margaret, parents Stephen, a grocer, and Ann Baker of Frensham". The entry is nearly illegible, but the previous one No 1201 is on June 12th. However a similar entry in Ancestry Surrey, England, Baptisms, 1813-1912 for Margaret Baker clearly states 5th June, but occurs between 12 June and 3 July.
In the 1851 census as Margrett Baker aged 8, born in Frensham, and living with her parents (Stephen and Ann), three brothers (Henry, John, and William) and three sisters (Jane, Martha and Mary Ann) in Lower Churt, Frensham, Surrey.
Her father died in 1860

There is no head of househouse, but there are two grandsons George A Walmesley and William H Walmesley aged 9 and 10 and two granddaughters Ann M C Walmesley and Mary E Walmesley aged 8 and 6, all born in Lambeth but no indication of the parents or grandparents, plus a neice (whose?) Charlotte S M Bracesden aged 40, also born in Lambeth, unmarried, with no trade and a house servant Ellen Follett aged 23, born in Pemlico, Hampshire, unmarried and also given as a visitor.
