Birth of Mary Baker in FreeBMD in October-December 1855 in Farnham (2a 60).
Christening of Mary Baker in the IGI on 9 December 1855 in Frensham, Surrey, parents William and Sarah Baker.
In the 1861 census as Mary Baker aged 5, born in Frensham, and living with her parents (William and Sarah), sister (Fanny ), uncle (James Marden) and two servants (William Shrub aged 18, born in Headley, Hampshire and and Henry Bicknall aged 16 and born in Witley, Surrey, both employed as carters i.e. farm servants) in Churt, Frensham (my second great grandmother Charlotte Shrubb [Croucher] was next door at Squirrels so I assume this was Hale House which ties in with the 1871 census).
In the 1871 census as Mary Baker aged 15, born in Frensham , and living with her parents (William and Sarah), a domestic servant (Ellen Carby (Larby) aged 15, and born in Lilford (Tilford) , Surrey) and a farm servant (George Loe aged 19, born in Headley, Hampshire and single) at Hale House, Frensham.
Her mother died in 1879.

Her father died in 1896 in Hambledon district which included Thursley so I assume the family had moved by then.
In the 1901 census as Mary Baker aged 45, born in Chart (sic - in the index), Frensham, single, employed as a farmer, head of the household and living with her sister (Fanny) and her uncle (James Harter (sic - in the index, Marden on the original) at Wheeler's Farm, Thursley, Surrey.
