From The Bakers of Headley:
The earliest Baker known definitely to be an ancestor of ours is Nicholas, who was born in Headley, Hampshire, on 23 July 1736. Nicholas married Mary Hurst (born 1737) on 27 October 1759 in Frensham, Surrey, and they had nine children: John born in 1760, Mary in 1762, Anne in 1764, Stephen in 1767, William in 1769, James in 1772, George in 1774, Richard in 1777 and Sarah in 1780. Like several generations of his forebears he lived at Simmondstone Farm. Mary died on 4 July 1801, being buried at Headley four days later,
